So very sorry to hear this news Huggons family. Peter was such a gentle soul with a big ❤️ Thinking of you all during this difficult time. Hugs Cathy & Ian Preston

I was very sad to hear through a mutual friend of Pete’s passing. We crossed paths attending the same program at Spencer Hall for small businesses and immediately hit it off: a tea sommelier meets a wine sommelier – a beautiful match! We had so much fun that week! So many blessings and connections came from my chance meeting with Pete. A little group of us that connected at this training continued to stay in touch for quite a long time, exchanging ideas to help each other, until life did what life does and pulled us into our own directions. Gone but not forgotten: a welcoming smile, a passion to connect with people and exchange ideas, and wine 🙂 I hope you have found infinite peace and unconditional love in the light, Pete. Raising my glass and my teacup to you, You will be missed.

It has been only a few days since Will reached out to let me know about Pete’s passing; it stung then and it really hurts right now. I have been flooded with all kinds of emotions and memories of my friendship with Pete. The dominant theme of all of my memories of Pete is kindness and decency; two traits that were core to his being. Pete displayed quiet strength and overcame much adversity in his life. I found his ability to persevere inspirational when facing my own challenges, especially right now.

We loved each other, Jazz, literature, Food and Wine (he the expert, me the enthusiast), History, Home Improvements (me the grunt, he the visionary), taking joy in Scout the dog swimming or playing fetch and much more. On a trip to Cottage country a couple years ago my dog absolutely covered the seats in my brand new truck with limestone mud from the Weber’s parking lot in Orillia. I was beside myself but Pete mused as he got water and an entire dispensers worth of napkins and cleaned the leather seats. He quickly made me see the humour in the situation and laughs were had. Seeing the big picture was a talent Pete truly possessed!

Pete really thrived in his role as both an uncle and youngest brother (another thing we shared in common). Most conversations we had, including one last week, involved what his niece or nephews were up to. Dispensing wisdom, being silly, reading bedtime books and all the other things a great uncle does came to him with such ease.

Tim & Will, Pete loved both of you so very dearly and was eternally grateful for everything you guys did for him for his whole life, you guys are blessed to have that gift. Pete’s love truly extended to Sheryl, Jenny and the kids.

The loss I feel is real, the loss to the many people Pete touched during his life is very real too. I have been struggling to come up with the most suitable words to write here, I am reminded of lyrics from a Leonard Cohen song I shared with Pete many times (he picked the wine, I picked the albums, with a general consensus) “there is a crack, a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in…” No matter how dark these days are for all of us, I know Pete wouldn’t want us to wallow in our own pity and would encourage all of us to be kind to each other, treat ourselves well, and to let some light inside.

Rest in peace my dear friend, you will forever be a part of me.

Pete was a much loved member of the family, and it’s such a massive loss to his English side of the family not to be able to share his final celebration of life. We will be their in spirit and will raise a glass when we come in the summer

I love you so much Pete and I will miss you. Words cannot describe the loss I feel. Sending my love and condolences to Will & Jenny and Tim & Sheryl. I know all your kids are going to miss their Uncle Pete. I know I am going to miss my friend. His infectious smile and the love and joy he embodies is going to be missed so much.
