[2] Print Obituary & Condolences [2]Thanks Ralph, appreciate the kind words. SG
Sorry to hear about this Scotty! Condolences to you and the fam and your sister. The captain was a interesting man and someone I will never forget. Great memories of him playing that awesome guitar to Colin James and teaching us hang gliding lessons on the driveway. And the crow that he and you rescued in the downstairs room! Mavis (sp?) lessons and much more. His stories were alway shocking and amazing. Love to meet up this summer with the family. Joffrey
Thanks Joffrey yes I have a lot of fun memories from our time in west van and skipper was never boring! Will look forward to catching up with the families one of these days. SG
I remember meeting your dad briefly in… 91? As we left, you explained his invention to me and I was confused but impressed – a Nostradamus moment (in hindsight)..
If an obituary makes its reader want to stand up and live more bravely and more deeply, then both the writer and his subject have done their jobs well!
Thanks for sharing Scott.

Thanks for the thoughtful note Shamus. Yep, let’s keep rocking cause we can.
I was the provincial scaling Forester in the late 1980’s and 90’s. Peter was one of my clients. He developed some very innovative scaling software for handheld computers which facilitated more meaningful scale results. Peter was always great to deal with and always wore a blue suit. He was a real gentleman.
I knew Peter had a lot of knowledge and a diverse background. After I retired in 2002, Peter called me at home. We had a lunch at West Bay. That is when I really got to know Peter . He was living on his boat at that time . He talked about his family, his loghouse building , his music and writing. He was a very thoughtful, interesting and bright man. I lost touch with Peter and always regretted l didn’t get to spend more time with him.
I wish my heartfelt condolences to Peter’s family , Victor Dove
Thanks for the kind words Victor.
I first became acquanted with Peter in 2006 when he arrived at our Marina and set up house living aboard his first vessel the MV Money Girl which he subsquently upgraded several years later with the MV Mirella. He was well ensconced as a
live aboard life in the West Bay of the Victoria Harbour for over a decade. Always witty and willing to share a story he was a great addition to our eclectic Harbour community. To me Peter was a truely iconic Canadian man. Capable, bright, and hard working. He is missed.

Congrats to you Scotty, successfully writing a 3D obit in 2D. You nailed it, your dad sure did love his kids and everybody he knew had to hear about it. He stood 10 feet tall and like a Bantam Rooster it’s like he didn’t even know he was only 5’ 7”, bigger than life guy, one of my best friends ever and in my opinion there’s not enough Peter Griffiths in this world. Hugs from Jacquie and I to the family and friends that might in some small way feel the same.
Ralph & Jacquie Allen
