Notice:
GARRELFS, Peter Anselm - On Thursday, April 29,
2021 at Trillium Hospital, Mississauga. Loving
father and father-in-law of Leah Garrelfs and
the late Joe Morana, Paul Garrelfs and Mei Kuan
Li, and Alicia Garrelfs and Ibrahim Kamala.
Dear brother of the late Hans Wilhelm Garrelfs
and dear brother-in-law of Eleanora Garrelfs.
Devoted Opa of Kathleen, and Peter. Loving
uncle to Hans Wilhelm Garrelfs (Gudrun), great-
uncle to Nicklas, Alexander, Katherina and
Maxmilian. Extended family including; Lynne
and Eddie Ryback, Rosemary and Malcolm Binns,
Michael and the late Kathleen Binns, along with
many other extended family and friends who will
miss him dearly.
Peter grew up during World War II and did not
often speak of his childhood. When he did it
was very apparent that he loved his mother,
father, brother, and Aunts dearly. Peter moved
from Germany to Canada in his early 20s. He
settled in Toronto and retired from Pendell
Boiler Ltd. as Vice President and part owner.
Peter had the gift of gab and often was the
voice you heard at a gathering. If you walked
in a room and he was there, you could hear his
loud voice with that slight German accent
debating about current politics or telling a
story about something that happened in history.
His son-in-law (Joe) would often say, "I can
start talking to your dad about one thing and
end up in 1932 with some history lesson" Peter
was a fountain of knowledge. He loved learning.
When he retired, he taught himself another
language and continued to read and learn. He
also had a great sense of humor and a deep love
of music.
His biggest accomplishment, and what he was
most proud of, was his 3 children and 2
grandchildren. He was a typical parent in the
sense that he worried about his children
always. What was not typical was the special
relationship he had with each one of them. To
make a child feel that loved, cherished, and
always welcomed no matter what is special. His
door was always open along with his arms. Even
in sickness, he worried about his children.
Family was what was most important in life to
him.
He left a mark on this world and in so many
hearts. He will be forever missed and loved by
so many.
