Four children or "The 4Ks" he named us, Ken Peters, Kim Risi (Rudy), Karrie Peters, and Kelvin Peters (Teresa).

He enjoyed, and was very dedicated to family events where he adored his many nieces and nephews. He always had a joke or story to share.
Driving was his life, from Gravel to Semi Trucks...he owned and worked for many places, most of those years were at Reimer Express where he won many awards for Safe driving, and was so proud to win Trucker of the year in 1992.

I started driving at Reimer Express in 1994 and had many layovers and good memories with Corine and his driving partner Gary. We always went for meals in Montreal and Toronto and other cities. I remember he loved eating at all u can eat buffets and we would often have coffee and visit long into the nights. Many stories and laughs. I’ll always remember him and he will be missed by so many that knew and worked with him. All the best - Posted by: Duane Friesen (Coworker friend ) on: Jan 16, 2024
