Peter August Huck

1/23/2020

Picture
Passed away on January 23, 2020, surrounded by his family, at age 68.

Beloved husband of Jane (Ulmer) Huck, to whom he was happily married for more than 40 years.

Devoted father of Jonathan Huck (Miera Ann Garvey) of Calgary, and Tiffany Hackbart (Kevin) of New Hamburg. He will be greatly missed by his grandchildren, Travis August and Ava Rose Hackbart, who made him so very proud. Peter will be fondly remembered by his in-laws, John and Mary Ulmer of Kanata and Joe Ulmer and Cathy Miehm of Kitchener, and all his nieces and nephews.

Born in Kitchener in 1951, Peter was the much-loved only son of late Joseph and Margaret (Peg) Huck. He excelled in sports as a youth and earned a prized spot on the Waterloo Siskins. His passion for hockey lives on in his talented grandkids. He was a member of the Theta Fraternity of St. Jerome’s High School for more than 50 years, and their yearly reunions were dear to his heart.

Peter was a born salesman, a skill he honed early at Huck Glove, the family business. He later branched out on his own and forged a long and successful sales career that took him all over the continent.

Peter will be missed by a large circle of family, friends and neighbours, who could always count on him to lend a hand, pour a cold beer from the keg in his garage, and share a colourful story.

In keeping with Peter’s wishes, there will be no public memorial service. Friends wishing to honour his memory can donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Messages and condolences may be left at www.tricitycremations.com or 519.772.1237. Please visit  Peter's obituary notice on Facebook.

I was shocked to learn of Peter's passing due to health complications.
Peter was a vibrant member of our Theata club (that started at the Y in 1966). Peter was always up for a good time whether it be in K-W roller skating at the Glenbriar, at ohe of the many dances our club had or Sauble Beach.
Peter will be missed especially at our December 23rd Christmas gathers at the Heuther in Waterloo. RIP Peter.

Doug and I are saddened by this news. Peter worked hard and he played hard. He had a true zest for life. We are truly happy for the vacations that we had together and the weekends of eat, drink and just be merry. We have wonderful memories and our hearts are breaking for Jane, his children and the grandchildren. He will be sorely missed. Some spirits are bigger than life. Rest in peace, Peter.... you deserve a well earned rest but it will be hard to forget you. xoxoxoxo

Hello Jane,  I am terribly sorry about your loss.  I thought I would reach out to you.  I cannot believe where the years have gone.  Last week, we had a party for my mom, who turned 90 in October and Tom's children Nora (3) and twins (Hazel and Katie, who are 1).  Tom's children just had their third and first birthday.  Interestingly enough, Hazel is a spitting image of Tom when he was the same age, with the stoic look, that one that you have to work real hard to get  a smile.  Those pre-school years that Thomas spent with you and your children were awesome.  When we saw Santa this year, Hazel screamed .... I remember the photos you took of Tom with that scowl, and the memories came flooding back.
Over the years, I spent time working in Australia, New Zealand and the US.  We left Julie in Australia. She has a masters degree in n paediatric mental health nursing.  Julie is married with two boys (Naish - 8 years old and Vale - 6 years old).  Dennis and I try to go to Australia every 12-18 months.  It is a big trip, but so worth it.  Although they travel here from time to time, it is doubtful they will return for anything but a trip or a special event.
After many years, we have been back now, in the area.  Last year I finally retired. If you like, we could get together for lunch.  I hope to see you soon. Kris Bailey E: kris.a.bailey1@gmail.com  T: (519) 404-0133

Hello Jane, so sorry for your loss. I was unaware of Peter's passing until recently. Sending belated condolences to you.I worked with Peter at DL, out of Trenton. I enjoyed many chats about his experiences and even after leaving the co. I always referred to him as Professor Huck, we would sometimes end up working closeby to each other and would meet up for dinner. He was a like a mentor. May he rest in peace.
