Peter Cory Landry died peacefully at home in Montreal on October 15, 2008. He was 87. Peter was the devoted husband of Mary Skelton Landry and the loving father of Bill and Anne (Rosanne Konrad). He was also adored by his sister Tink Churchill-Smith, his late brother David, his sister-in-law Jane Schissler (Jim Schissler) and his many nieces and nephews. Peter was a respected teacher of physics, mathematics and education at Trinity College School in Port Hope, Ontario, at St. Joseph's Teacher College in Montreal and at McGill University. He received his B.Eng. and M.Sc. from McGill and his M.A. from Columbia University in New York. Peter was an avid birder. He was a co-founder of both the Willow Beach Field Naturalists in Port Hope, Ontario and the Audubon Christmas Bird Count in Georgeville, Quebec. Peter was also a keen racquets player. He was the first Canadian to win the U.S. Collegiate Singles Squash Championship in 1947. He was a member of both the U.S. Squash Hall of Fame and the McGill Sports Hall of Fame. Peter was proud of his service in the Second World War. He served with distinction as a radar mechanic with the Royal Canadian Air Force. We wish to give special thanks to the four caregivers who made Peter's life so comfortable during the final months of his life. Peter will be remembered by his family, friends, students and colleagues for his inquisitive mind, his open nature and generous spirit.. A service in Peter's memory will be held on October 21 at 2:00 PM at the Unitarian Church of Montreal, 5035 de Maisonneuve Blvd., West. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Nature Conservancy of Canada, 36 Eglinton Ave., W., Suite 400, Toronto, ONT., M4R 1A1.
