Pete was surrounded by his family as he completed his journey here on earth to meet Jesus and his wife Mary who he lost 6 months ago. Pete was born on July 17, 1927 in Giroux, MB to John and Sara Plett. He was raised on a farm in Blumenort and received his education in the Greenland area. When Pete was nine years old he accidently lost several fingers at a local sawmill. When he was only 15 he lost his dad. In his teenage years Pete and his brothers, along with other relatives farmed north of Beausejour and this is where his love of farming seemed to begin. Pete tried his hand at cutting pulpwood, working on the railroad, doing road construction, clearing farmland, and farming turkeys and chickens. Grain farming was his passion and held his interest until the day he died. Pete moved to Mexico at age 22 with his family. After two years of working in the hatchery business he moved back to Canada to marry his sweetheart, Mary Reimer, on December 13, 1953. In 1961, our parents moved from Blumenort, MB to Arborg, MB where they established a new home. Here Pete purchased farmland and after clearing the brush enjoyed many years of grain farming. In 1988, our parents built a new house just next to the existing farm, where Dad began his semi-retired years. He enjoyed keeping their grass trimmed, and trees and garden tilled. He also did some woodwork and gave his grandchildren cooling racks for wedding gifts. Pete is known for showing interest in the people around him and greeting them with a big smile and handshake. He enjoyed many cups of coffee at the local Chicken Chef where he interacted with friends and neighbors. His grandchildren know him as a loving, supportive Grandpa, who up to his dying days cheered them on. His great-grandchildren also put a smile on his face. Pete suffered years of pain due to rheumatoid arthritis. This did not confine him to a wheelchair as the doctors predicted years ago. He was courageous and remained positive through it all. Mom and Dad moved to House of Hope in 2012 where Dad looked after our mom with love and devotion. When Mom passed away 6 months ago Dad seemed lost as his caregiving days were over. He deeply grieved her passing and his health soon began to decline. Dad remained true to his faith and read his Bible to receive comfort and strength. He was admitted to the hospital at the end of February where he suffered the final stages of liver cirrhosis. Left to cherish his memory are his six children: Glenn (Norma)Plett, Lorna (Milton) Loewen, Carol (John) Petkau, Ron (Sylvia) Plett, Bev (Lowell) Stauffer, Gloria (Robert) Penner. He is also survived by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, 2 sisters and four brothers. He was predeceased by his beloved wife Mary, two sons and one granddaughter. As a family, we wish to thank Dr. Akinpelu and the staff at the Arborg Hospital and House of Hope for the excellent care Dad received.
