It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Peter Locke Leaney: beloved husband of the late Anna Leaney, partner, father
and grandfather. Peter passed away peacefully at home on June 3, 2022 at the
age of 77. He is survived by his daughter Sarah, son Derek (Valerie),
grandchildren Aidan and Madelaine, sister Wendy (Keith) Gray and his partner
Carroll Chilton. Peter was born in Farnham GBR on September 2, 1944 and raised
in Toronto, Ontario. He was the eldest son born to Philemon (nee McSweeney) and
Murray HW Leaney. Peter truly loved life and loved all those around him. He had
a big personality that drew people to him and if you were lucky enough to call
Peter a friend, you had a friend for life. Peter was enjoying his retirement
from Teledyne Water Pik Canada as President and GM but will always be remember for
his commitment to his family. Providing for his family was priority number one
for Peter. Peter loved all sports, especially golf and his Maple Leafs. He
loved spending his mornings at the Whitby Diner with a newspaper, his
afternoons teeing off at Whitevale with his friends and his evenings at Tim
Hortons with his coffee buddies. He loved watching old black and white movies
on TCM but most importantly he always loved talking about his two grandchildren.
He will be greatly missed by many. Please join us for a Celebration of Peter’s
Life on June 17, 2022 from 2 -6p.m. at Whitevale Golf Course, 2985 Golf Club
