My condolences to the family of Peter. I worked with Peter for a number of years at RBC and was a pleasure to be alongside him daily. We, along with my other colleagues at that time, built the pinnacle of services and expectations for our community and Peter was an integral part of this.
Uncle Petey, I will always remember our Top Gear and VW Golf R / GTI talks, and that through humor and knowledge we were able to win every time.
Rest in peace, sir.

So sorry to hear the news. A very sad ending to a tough year for the Greenwood family. “Uncle Pete” had a great sense of humour and laugh that was hard to forget. He was always fun to be around. Peter will be missed! My condolences to the whole Greenwood family!

I met Pete on the first day of university in September 1997. We had a close-knit floor and, for the most part, all became instant friends. Pete had a remarkable ability to make us laugh. Even now, I still retell some of the stories from that first year at Laurier – though perhaps this isn’t the time or place to share most of those particular stories.
Pete moved to Toronto along with many of us after university. To this day, I still keep the same TD home branch in the Beaches (even though I now live nowhere near it) because of Pete. He wasn’t just my friend—he was my banker, too! We shared an endless list of fun stories. I remember hanging out with other friends after a few years in Toronto and teeing Pete up with a story: “Hey Pete, what about that time you were caught speeding? What did you tell the cop?” Pete would knock it out of the park every time, regaling us with one hilarious tale after another.
Just a few days ago, I told the story of Pete convincing us to go on stage to sing The Gambler at a bar. I hesitated, saying I didn’t know all the words, but Pete assured me, “Don’t worry, I know every word to The Gambler.” I agreed, trusting him, only to realize midway through that he knew a lot of the words—just not all of them! The laughter we shared that night.
One of my fondest memories is from a trip to the Dominican Republic. We were so excited to get massages, but three out of the four of us ended up getting massages from dudes. We laughed so hard about it afterward, with a few El Presidente cervezas helping to ease the “trauma.”
We played golf, rented cottages, went to car shows and bars, watched Monday Night Football, and hung out at each other’s places all the time. It was such a wonderful and carefree time in our lives.
In the mid-2000s, Pete decided he’d had enough of Toronto and moved to London. As life got busier and distances grew, we didn’t keep in touch as much as we should have. We met up in London a few times and at occasional weddings, but it was never quite the same. Facebook didn’t bridge the gap. Pete, I am so incredibly sorry I didn’t try harder to stay in touch.
You brought so much joy to me and to everyone who knew you, Pete. I am shocked and deeply saddened by this news. I love you, buddy. We all do.

My deepest condolences to Pete’s family & friends . I worked at RBC & would get the chance to talk to Pete when we would meet up at RBC training sessions & advice events & I always told him that I wish he would get transferred to the branch I worked at, so we could work together but it never happened . He was wickedly smart with a sense of humour to match. Once you met Pete, you could never forget him . I am shocked by his passing.
Rest in peace Pete 🕊️💔

Pete we met at RBC and our friendship continued grow. I loved our chats, your kindness and most of all your caring guidance you provided.
A little poem to an amazing friend
The angels looked down from heaven one night.
They searched for miles afar,
And deep within the distance
They could see a shining STAR 🌟.
They knew that very instant
That the star was theirs to gain,
So they took you up to heaven,
Forever to remain.
Look down on us from heaven.
Keep us free from hurt and pain.
You’ll always be within my heart ❤️
Until we meet again.
I will always cherish our friendship and memories of laughter. ❤️
My sincere condolences to Pete’s family and friends

Ann, Lynn, Kate and Tyler, my sincere condolences on Pete’s passing. I know that you are missing him dearly. Your memories, pictures and stories will keep him close to you going forward. His eyes would light up when he spoke of Kate and Tyler. I know that I will miss his big brown eyes, beautiful and friendly smile, his unique and genuine laugh, his huge heart and his slightly strange sense of humour!! We were co-workers at RBC but also friends…and chatting quite often on FB Messenger over the last few years. I will miss Pete dearly.

I have known Pete for a long time. In grade 4, he gave me my first ever “love poem”. (My mom insisted I save it) and I smile whenever I stumble upon it. It is something to cherish of Pete – warm, heartfelt and a little quirky.
I kept in touch with Pete through Facebook. When I was getting divorced he offered an ear, a friendly dinner, a movie. Those thoughtful acts of kindness are how I will remember Pete. I am so sorry he is gone..

Pete and I were good friends in highschool. We spent a great deal of our social time playing pool with the guys on the weekends and shooting hoops during lunch breaks at CKSS. We grew apart shortly after highschool, and I am sorry to hear of his passing. My sincere condolences to his family.

My sincere condolences to Pete’s family. We met in the late 90s when we both lived in High Park. We spent many nights together watching football and telling jokes. Pete had a great sense of humour and always made me laugh. I remember a very old bar in Toronto named “The Duke” that he liked to go to. It was named after John Wayne – one of his favourite actors. I’ll miss you Pete. God bless.

My condolences to the Greenwood family. Pete and I have been friends since the first day at Laurier. We lived on the same floor in first year, went through the WLU history program together, and were flat mates for a period when Pete lived in Toronto.
Pete was a great friend. We shared a few drinks, lots of laughs, and made some fantastic memories over the years.
You died too soon and are missed.
Cheers my friend.
