Cherished husband of Shirley (née Vodarek) for over 61 years. Loving father of Peter (Karen), Paul (Michele), Mark (Collette), and Lisa Fransen (John). Treasured Papa of Nicole and Michael Antaya; Sara and Amanda Worden and Sean Antaya; Jacob, Benjamin and Rachel Antaya; Matthew and Andrew Fransen. Proud great-grandpa of Nicholas and Violet. Loved brother of the late Dan (Islay), Eleanor Zahary (the late Bud), and the late Edward. Missed by many cousins, nieces and nephews. Beloved son of the late Henry and Monica. Long time member of St. Gabriel’s Church, and in recent years Our Lady of Mount Carmel Church. Peter loved life and was an active booster of the City of Windsor and his community. Everywhere Peter went he would bump into former students and colleagues, having worked nearly 35 years as a teacher and principal with the Windsor Separate School Board. He was active in parish life, the church choir, the Windsor Symphony Chorus, Knights of Columbus, United Way, Extend-A-Family, OECTA, the University of Windsor, and leadership and mentor roles too numerous to mention. Peter loved the Windsor Spitfires, golf with his buddies, a cold beer with friends and neighbours, and most of all spending time with his family.

Special thanks to Dr. Giancarlo Pizzuti as well as the staff at Windsor Regional Hospital, the Hospice of Windsor and Essex County, and ParaMed for their wonderful care.

For those who wish, donations may be made to the Hospice of Windsor and Essex County, the Windsor and Essex County Cancer Centre Foundation, or the Windsor Symphony Orchestra.
