Peter Evagelou was born on June 15, 1932 in the small, remote town of Meliti, Greece. There he went on to marry his wife Rose Evagelou. In August of 1962, Peter, Rose and their young son Tom boarded the SS Queen Frederica to cross the Atlantic to Halifax, Canada. They then boarded a train to Toronto where they were greeted and lovingly welcomed into the Petridis home. With Uncle Sam, Teta Leika and their children Mary, Peter and Jim, they began their new life in a new country. In 1964 Peter, Rose, and Tom welcomed the birth of Stephan. Tom went on to marry Sandy and Stephan went on to marry Grace. Our Dad is blessed with 4 beautiful grandchildren, Andrew, Peter, Michelle and Sonia.

Peter lived his life as a hardworking, loving, respectful and courteous person. Everyone who knew him saw that. He was never too shy to crack a joke and bring a smile or laugh to others. When not working, dad enjoyed his garden immensely, sipping a glass of home made wine, and sharing a coffee with old friends at the local shop.

Sadly, Dad passed away at the age of 89 on November 3, 2021 in his home with his wife and 2 sons by his side. Dad, you will always be loved and forever missed. You brought happiness and joy to everyone that was fortunate to know you. Rest in Peace.
