The son of the late Peter and Bessie Blance, formerly of Shetland and Orkney. Survived by his brother Robert and sister-in-law Elma and nephew Peter Blance of Edinburgh. His relatives and friends here and abroad will miss his wonderful stories and quick wit. Peter served seven years with the Metropolitan Police Service in Toronto, after a few years of service in Scotland. He joined the IRB (The Immigration and Refugee Board) for the next twenty-five years until his retirement.
