Mr. Peter Bhar

August 3, 1924 - December 3, 2013

On December 3, 2013, Peter Bhar, of High River, passed away at the age of 89 at High River Hospital. He is survived by his wife Jill, of High River; daughters: Liz Soria (Marcelo) and Jane Iannacone (Dean); and son Rod Bhar (Allison Hall); grandsons: Joseph, Trevor and Pedro, all of Calgary; brothers Inderjit (Shashi) of Australia and Gurcharan (Dolly) of Texas; nieces and nephews: Joveena, Amrita, Chimene, Girinder, Harveen, Ninoo and Raju. He was predeceased by his sister Susheel and brothers Daljit, Gurdarshan and nephew Charanjit. Peter was born in Kanpur, India, moved to London, England in 1951 where he met Jill, the love of his life. They eloped to Scotland on a Vespa scooter, where they were married in 1957. They returned to London, where all was quickly forgiven, and the family immigrated to Canada in 1968 where Peter went into real estate and retired as a broker around 1994. Peter had a major stroke in 2002 that robbed him of his speech and some of his mobility. He was a devoted husband, proud father and grandpa and enjoyed his family, as well as watching old movies and Leafs hockey games. We would like to express our deep gratitude to Dr. Brian Jensen, the home care workers who came in all weather and road conditions and to the staff of the 3rd floor of the hospital for their excellent care. The love that once was born cannot die For it has become part of us, of our life, Woven into the very texture of our being. Each of us would wish to leave some part of ourselves, So here and now we bear witness to the one we knew in life, Who now in death bequeaths a subtle part, precious and beloved, Which will be with us in truth and beauty, In dignity and courage and love... To the end of our days. ~ Algernon Black If desired, memorial donations may be made to the High River Hospital Foundation (560 9th Ave. SW, High River, AB, T1V 1B3).
