Peter James Gunning

April 26, 2022

Peter James Gunning passed away peacefully on Tuesday, April 26th. 2022, at Scarborough General Hospital, at the age of 89. Survived by his wife of 53 years, Anne-Mary (nee MacLellan). Peter will be missed by his son Christopher James and daughter-in-law, Laura (nee von Haeseler), his grandchildren Liam James, Moira Elizabeth and Neilan Peter; his brothers and sister and other surviving family in the United Kingdom as well as many nieces and nephews from Nova Scotia. Peter was born in London, England in 1932. He often talked about moving around the English countryside during World War II to avoid the bombing raids. His memories of living though trying times and congregating in the bomb shelters with his family and neighbors stayed with him throughout his life. Peter immigrated to Canada in 1956, landing in Toronto and resided in various locations in the downtown area before settling in Scarborough in 1978. Peter was an avid gardener and received accolades from his neighbors and the Scarborough Horticultural society. He also enjoyed being outside with nature and loved caravanning. During his summer travels, he would frequent the many provincial parks in Southern Ontario, but most holidays were spent travelling to Anne’s hometown of Inverness, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. A celebration of life and burial will be held at a later date in Inverness. In lieu of flowers, a donation may be made to Canadian Cancer Society https://www.societederecherchesurlecancer.ca/2020/en/spring?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=spring2022&utm_content=en-responsive-competitor&gclid=CjwKCAjw9qiTBhBbEiwAp-GE0crBuSGvnA5xNbWOE5yENLnyRWtxWREfcAKMb4TVVKsWiBWWC2v8JhoCgY4QAvD_BwE
