Peter was a good husband, father and grandfather,
businessman, musician, and more. As a child, Peter developed a deep
love for sports, especially being on the water, and music. Music
became the rhythm of his life. He was the drummer of Pete Porter
Orchette for many decades.
Peter was an accomplished businessman and leader. He had
talent, wisdom, and knowledge. Peter worked in Moncton, Montreal,
Vancouver, Boston and New York and travelled the world for both
international corporations and private enterprises throughout Canada,
United States, Asia, Europe and Africa. He worked in a variety of
businesses, including imports/exports, sports athletic consulting, and
manufacturing. Peter touched many businesses over the years. Most
recently, he was a founding member of the Alma City Club and President

Shane, his daughter-in-law Jillian, and his granddaughters Maeve and
Charlotte. Peter was predeceased by his father Leonard Porter, who
