Peter Duffy died one year ago today!!!! I sure missed the guy!!!!
Everyone is still in shock....I was surprise the store was open....Peter's friend and worker David was there to call customers to tell them the bad News.
It sure is different not noticing Peter behind the counter working or listening to youtubes on the internet.
Everything is left intact just the way People had it when he close up his store last Friday.
I remember Peter used to collect the free McDonald's cafe coupon and would give them to someone in need.
People are walking by with tears in their eyes and saying - I'm going to miss the Good Morning I had from Peter on a daily basis....
I had MANY debates on MANY different issues with Peter. I will keep these debates to myself but there's one issue I will say and it's the manner humans act.
People who runs businesses have to deal with them EVERY single day.
He would tell me some funny stories ...but I did see an episode right in front of my very eyes this morning.
This woman walked in for her shoes.
The grieving employee gave her her shoes.
She replied - How much?
He really didn't know so he raise his arms in the air and said - 10 Bucks!!!
She replied - Peter would have never charged me $10.00!!!
He shot back by saying keep your money. I am in no mood in debating the price of a repair shoe!!!
She left the money on the counter and suddenly change into a concern attitude..Ohhhh Was Peter sick? How's the Family??? Etc...etc ..etc....
AARRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!
I just had to bite my tongue
People are VERY strange even during a time of mourning.
But Peter was the type who would give breaks to anyone who he feels was going thought a difficult time.
That's the way he was....just a nice guy....:)
Peter used to sharpen skates but he stop that practice because people were just too fussy.
It's sure going to be difficult not seeing Peter sitting down on his old seat.
He will be truly miss by MANY people.
Here's some pictures from this morning ...:)
As I said in a video last night....he was one of the best....my deepest sympathy to his Family and Friends.....
UPDATE - Peter's son Patrick showed up around noon and it looked like a funeral home all day...hundreds of people stopped by the Store to share their anguish over Peter's death....:(

Why did Idiot Mayor Mike O'Brien stop the plans to built a Bus Shelter???
Charles,
Today my heart ached when I visited Social Development.
I caught a glimpse inside of someone elses reality, I did not realize today was cheque day for people on social assistance. I did not realize the postal strike caused people to collect their cheque at Cook's Landing on Two Nations Crossings.
I pulled into the parking lot. I was warm, I was driving my own car. I saw many people and families just outside the doors, it seemed they were waiting for the bus. There were more people inside. These people do not want to be in this situation. You can tell the folks inside the building and around it are feeling stressed. And rightfully so, their well-being is off balance. These people are struggling financially and it hurts.
I have many things that these people lack. These people cannot afford an insulated jacket like the one I invested in. They cannot make investments because they have to pay bills and buy food. These people struggle to do that. That is why they are in need of social assistance, they need our help.
It is November 30th and winter has come early. We have people who need our help to survive and cannot afford quality items. The postal strike caused people to go to Cook's Landing for their cheque. Regardless of the strike, people who need help still need to travel to Cook's Landing. We are clearly not able to get everyone a good winter jacket. Why is there no bus shelter that everyone can use at Cook's Landing?
When a person has to ask social development for help, it's a hard day. Let's make an investment that will last. Let's allows someones hard day to be easier. Let's build a bus shelter for the people who need help at Cook's Landing.
