ANDREWS, Peter- Age 94 of Halifax, it is with broken hearts that we his family announce the passing of Peter Andrews at Cobequid Community Health Center, Lower Sackville. Born in England, he was the son of the late Walter and Kate (Spence) Andrews.

In Peter’s younger years, he loved to long distance cycle and play soccer.  Peter managed Sunbeam Appliances Center in Halifax for many years.  After retirement, he worked for the Bridge Commission as a special constable.  Peter loved traveling to many countries with his loving wife, Sheila. Peter loved telling jokes and in his later years told the same joke over and over.  He also loved being in nature and watching wildlife.  For many years he donated to the Canadian Wildlife Federation.
