He will be greatly missed by his wife of 62 years, Helen Irene (Munn) Bury, her family and friends. Peter and Helen met and fell in love while Peter was working with the Civilian Conservation Corps. (CCC), on the Olympic Peninsula near Quilcene, WA, in the late 1930's. He was a devoted father to children Lyla Beth Hadley and husband Melvin (Shelton, WA), Col. James Peter (Fresno, CA), Robert John and wife Torhild (Tacoma, WA), Darlene Pearl Keafer and husband Sheldon (McCall, ID), and Daniel Munn and wife Bonnie, (Maple Valley, WA). He was dearly loved by 13 grandchildren, 7 great- grandchildren, and the many others who endearingly came to know him as "grandpa" or "Pastor Pete". He is also survived by his sister Mary Medcalf (Lakewood, WA), brother John Bury and wife Barbara (Spanaway, WA), and sister-in-law Glendora Bury. He was preceded in death by his parents, and siblings Anna Radochonski, Victoria Kuhar/ Donner, Julia Bury, Michael Bury and brother-in-law and partner- in-ministry Richard Medcalf. Peter was born July 24, 1917, in the Manitou Park section of Tacoma to Jozef (Joseph) and Tacjana (Taska) Ferenc (Ferance) of Galicja, Austria-Hungary. He was raised on a ranch near Thrift, WA, and was a graduate of Kapowsin High School. He attended Pacific Lutheran College, Parkland, WA, and was ordained through Grace Brethren Seminary, Winona Lake, IN. In over 50 years of visionary ministry, Peter's incredible boldness in reaching the lost with the saving message of Jesus touched innumerable lives. Peter organized interdenominational church and youth camps while serving pastorates in Washington, Oregon, California, New York, and Pennsylvania. He was a beacon of life and hope daily to the sick in hospitals and nursing homes. His ministry extended worldwide through his radio broadcast, "The Chapel Hour", and through his weekly television program "Sharing With You" in Johnstown, PA. In more recent years, he engaged in Christian outreach to the Tacoma Korean community. He also established and supplied multiple small Bible lending libraries throughout India and Africa. In addition to his own ministry, Peter supported many other missionary efforts and was an ardent supporter of Kathryn Kuhlman throughout her ministry. Peter was always especially proud of his Polish and Ukrainian heritage, and felt a special calling to his own Slavic and Austrian people. Immediately following WWII, Peter was involved in UNRRA's efforts to deliver humanitarian relief and encouragement to war devastated Poland. Peter's other interests included sports, gardening and conducting numerous tours to the Holy Land. The family welcomes you to a visitation/viewing Monday, July 16, 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM, and a memorial service to be held at 10:00 AM, Tuesday, July 17, both to be held at the New Tacoma Funeral Home, 9212 Chambers Creek Road W., Tacoma, WA. A graveside committal will follow at 3:00 PM on Tuesday, at Quilcene Cemetery near Port Townsend, WA. The family would like to express their deepest appreciation for the loving care provided by the staff of Bel Air Health Care Center. Peter was a kind and humble man with a mighty message and ministry. "He who winneth souls is wise." We rejoice with him as he enters into his Heavenly reward. Pub Date: 7/15/2001 Tacoma News Tribune
