HOLLAND, Peter

Peter Holland, loving husband of Anne (Lord) and father of Michael and Tara, passed away in Sherbrooke on August 19, 2016, after a short battle with cancer. He went very peacefully, surrounded by his family.

Peter had an unfailingly positive outlook on life, and said only of this devastating diagnosis, “I have had a great 78 years”. Kindness and generosity were his defining qualities; he loved nothing more than helping others. He was a people person and very involved and well respected in the Lennoxville community. Most of all he was a family man, content to enjoy simple pleasures with his family and close friends. He will be dearly missed.

A private service was held on August 27 at Malvern cemetery.

The family is very grateful to the wonderful staff in the Hôtel-Dieu palliative care ward, where Peter lived out his last 7 weeks and was, in his words, “treated like a king”. Donations to this ward in Peter’s name would be welcomed.
