Patrick (Pat) Panter
1938-2022
It is with deep sadness that the family of Patrick George Panter announce his peaceful passing with family by his side on January 26, 2022 at Grey Bruce Health Services, Owen Sound to be with the Lord. Patrick was in his 84th year. Beloved son of the late George and Genevieve (Fraser) Panter. Loving brother of Marianne (Jim) Riches of Meaford and Jennifer (Maurice) Charlebois of Ottawa. Cherished uncle of James (Natalia) Riches of Brooklyn and Juli (Dave) Schmid of Owen Sound, and of his great nieces and nephews Corey (Bernadette) Riches, Chelsea (Blake) Rice, Nikita Starchenko, Connor Schmid and Jesse Schmid. Pat was born and raised in Peterborough, Ontario where he lived for 81 years. He worked at Quaker Oats for 36 years until his retirement in 2000. Pat lived the last 2 years at Kelso Pines Retirement Home in Owen Sound.
Pat was an ardent sports fan- hockey, lacrosse, ball and football. Pat was a Peterborough Petes fan since 1956 and attended all home games until 2017 and then he watched from his recliner at home. We will miss you Pat. Go Petes Go!
