PETER GEORGE BLUE

Peter George Blue passed away on February 11, 2026, at the age of 97. He was predeceased by his wife, Jean (nee Ross), in 2019, and his grandson, Matthew Armstrong. Peter was a loving father and father-in-law to Susan, Dave (Kelly Carmichael), Don (Laurie Bowers), Nancy (John Armstrong), and Heather (Dan Bradshaw). He was a devoted Grandpa and Pa to grandchildren, Connor (Kayla), Bailey (Cedar), Matt, Hudson (Sabrina), Quinton (Danielle), Jessie (Alex), Rachel (Chris), Emerson (Teesha), and Joelle (Noah). Born in Sudbury, Ontario, to Margaret and Walter Blue, Peter was the fourth of five children, William, Kenneth, Joyce, and Margaret, who all predeceased him. At the age of 7, Peter and his family moved to Webbwood, Ontario, returning to Sudbury eight years later. Peter was a man of humble beginnings who never forgot his Webbwood roots. He dropped out of school at 15 to work and support his mother and sisters while his older brothers served in WWII. Peter met his future wife, Jean, at a 'Teen Town' Dance and they were married in 1951. They built their first home together in Sudbury and raised five children and nine grandchildren. Peter and Jean shared a love of the outdoors, spending time camping and fishing on Lake Penage, where they built their family camp. The camp started as a basic shed and evolved into a three-bedroom cottage with outbuildings. Peter enjoyed spending time at the camp, where he would often take a sauna and watch the sunset on O'Brien's Island. Peter was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who will be deeply missed. He will be remembered for his love of family and his dedication to his community. The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff at Paul OConnor Funeral Home for their care and support during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice in Peter's memory.
