The early skills passed on to me back then have stayed with me to this day, and his classes were probably the most enjoyable of any. — Richard Goodall ADLEM, Peter Born July 11, 1921 in Victoria passed away peacefully on January 6, 2006 at Saanich Peninsula Hospital after a struggle with cancer. He served during World War II with the British Columbia Dragoons in Italy and in Northwest Europe, joining the Westminster Regiment at the end of the war. Following the war he served in the militia, laterly as a Major with the Royal Canadian Electrical & Mechanical Engineers. He worked as an industrial arts teacher at Booth Memorial High School in Prince Rupert where he met his wife, Patricia who predeceased him. More recently he taught at Oak Bay Secondary School until his retirement. He is survived by his brother Dave, his sister Joan, his sons Mike and Doug and his grandchildren Kelsey and Ryan. He will be missed by all who knew him. A private family service will be held. 193401 Published in the Victoria Times-Colonist on January 10, 2006 January 12, 2006 Mr. Peter Adlem I was very sorry to learn that our metal work shop teacher from Oak Bay had passed away. The early skills passed on to me back then have stayed with me to this day and his classes were probably the most enjoyable of any. I spoke with him about ten years ago by phone and had a great conversation. He retired after a major heart attack that he attributed to stress and went on to other ventures including a Mac Tools rep. I still have a few things that I cobbled together in grade seven that are still useful and actually work. The industrial arts shops at both schools were built at a time when money was no object and were considered to be some of the best in the country. At the time of our reunion, I happened to glance through the window of the woodwork shop in the old Junior High building to see the benches still there but all the tools and equipment gone and the facility in a very run down conditon. Thanks for the memories Pete. Richard Richard Goodall / goodallr@sunwave.net January 21, 2006 New Email Howdy y'all from Sunny Cedar-by- the-Sea!
