PeterDouglas RANGER

RANGER, Peter Douglas Peacefully, with loved ones by his side, following a most courageous battle, on the morning of Thursday, August 17, 2017, at the age of 80. He will be deeply missed by his beloved family, including partner Allyson Luck, children Jacqueline, Donna (Craig Middaugh) and Martin and cherished granddaughter Lilianna. Peter approached everything in life with drive, determination and focus. He was incredibly intelligent and possessed an impressive memory with great capacity for detail. As a young man, Peter served in the United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force. By the age of thirty he was an established engineer who seized the opportunity to bring his young family to Canada for a better life. He went on to become a proud Canadian and a self-made successful businessman and owner of Tenace Corporation. Peter was an accomplished artist; he also loved sports, music and travel. He coached youth soccer, was an avid track and field fan and until the age of 70 was a successful weightlifter and bodybuilder, winning many awards. His travels took him around the globe. He recounted with fondness many memorable experiences, never missing a single detail! The one place he loved, above all, was Amoudi Bay in Santorini, Greece. Its magic allowed him a sense of calm and freedom. Go peacefully now, with the winds of Amoudi at your back. In our hearts forever. Friends may call at the Turner & Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. W., at Windermere, east of the Jane Subway, on Friday from 2-4 and 6-9 p.m. Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel on Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 11 a.m. Interment Bond Head Cemetery, Newcastle.
