Peter Butler | CHAT news today

It is with great sadness that we have to announce that Peter passed away peacefully, but unexpectedly, on Sunday morning, May 5, 2024.
I cherish the time we had together, and memories are of myself, Mary and his only son Paul.
Peter’s passion for numbers led to a career that started in England and the Bahamas as an accountant and after moving his family to Calgary, it became the investment industry. His first passion was sports: Arsenal football and statistics, and rugby. In retirement, he studied languages ​​such as Old English, German and several European languages.
He was an accomplished runner. His medals include the Boston Marathon twice and numerous other marathons, including the 100 and 50 km ultramarathons from Seattle to London, England. He was a rugby referee, coach and kayaker. He practiced a life of exercise every day, preferably outside, preferably in a bush, and it had to be a challenge. Peter never went on a road trip without a tent and some sleeping bags, just in case there was an opportunity to use them!
For Paul and me, he was our support in all situations we encountered together.
The funeral service will take place in the ST. JOHN’S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH (504 – 2nd Street SE) on Saturday, May 11, 2024 at 11:00 AM with Rev. Dr. officiating. R. (Bob) Cruickshank. To leave a message of condolence, please visit www.pattisonfuneralhome.com.
