It is with great sadness that we say good-bye to our fellow Rotarian Peter Faulkner.
Peter joined Rotary in June of 1994 and was an active Rotarian taking on the position of President not once but twice. He spearheaded the building of the original Rotary Skateboard Park in Sooke and was always available to offer his wisdom on legal questions and help with all those many government forms. His Newfie sense of humour, as auctioneer, started our annual White Elephant Auction and with a glass of scotch in his hand cajoled many a dollar from fellow Rotarians as his home accent became thicker and thicker. Always involved in our hosting of Junior B hockey at SEAPARC and of course we lost him many times to Wednesday afternoon golf. He was always the voice of sensibility when hard decisions needed to be made and at the same time a great believer in having fun.
Our hearts go out to his many friends, his work family and Andrea and family who made him so happy.
He will be missed.
As per Peter's kind wishes, donations can be made to the Rotary Club of Sooke via credit card, etransfer to sookerotarydonation@gmail.com or by cheque made out to Sooke Rotary Community Organization.
Tax receipts will be issued (please include your email, home address and phone number)
