Peter was born on May 26, 1934 in Victoria, B.C. and passed away peacefully, in his sleep at home, on April 26, 2019. Peter was predeceased by his wife, Lena Rita Plewes (Lana) by 5 years, a loss Peter never recovered from. Peter and Lana were married in November 1954 and were approaching their 60th wedding anniversary cruise when Lana passed away suddenly in April 2014. Peter is survived by his children, Arthur (Debra), Alexa (Dale), and Perry (Angie); his grandchildren, Christopher, Carolyn, Aidan, Declan, Regan and Emma; his sister, Mary Semple and his sister-in-law, Eva Olauson with their families.
Peter joined the Canadian Air Force as a teenager, working as an electronics technician and retired from the force after 20 years to work as an electrician in the private sector and at Dockyard in Victoria. Peter loved to travel with Lana and their group of friends and saw much of the world either cruising or in their search for carnival glass. While we will miss Peter, he is finally at Lana’s side again.
No service or flowers by request.

John and Rose Caulder To the Plewes Family,
Peter will be remembered with Lana and Emily as welcoming and friendly neighbours. Peter was always ready to engage us, over a glass of his wine, about his latest thoughts on a wide range of subjects, as well as the pride he felt for his children, their partners and his grandchildren. He will be missed. Rose, John and Andra

Dolores & Don Stevens Dear Perry and Angie, Alexa and Dale, Arther and Debra,
Our condolences on the passing of your father Peter.
We have countless memories of good times spent with Peter and Lana. Dinner dances at the Mess, family gatherings at the Herbertson’s Cowichan Lake property and wonderful parties given by your parents in the summer and over the Christmas season. These are fond memories we willl cherish. We were saddened when Peter did not allow us to help him heal, but realize that he had to cope with Lana’s death in his own way. He brought much joy to many before that. Our sympathies to all of you. Dolores and Don
The Plewes family all,
We met Peter and Lana in Saskatoon in 1954. Over these many years we shared the news of births of our children through the mail and cards at Christmas. After we moved to Victoria we renewed our friendship and spent many enjoyable times with them.
Our condolences over the recent loss of your father and grandfather.
Kenneth and Dorothy Krocker
