It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, Peter. He passed away peacefully in the presence of family at Victoria General Hospital. Born and raised in Victoria, predeceased by his father, Reverend Moi Fong Leung and mother, Mae Chan, 2 brothers and 8 sisters. Survived by his sister, Lydia. He leaves behind his loving wife of 62 years, Cynthia. A true love story to behold. They often danced the night away in their younger years. Survived by his children and grandchildren: Cary – Karsen, Jarryd; Steven (Patty) – Nathan, Tamiya; Darlene (Randy) – Brandon, Leanne(Taylor), Jordan. He loved his family deeply.
Peter lived a full life, and did it all “his way”. A successful business owner, Renfrew-Fairfield Dry Cleaners and Victoria Travel Shoppe. He also enjoyed his time as a Rotarian during his business years. His passion was golf, a long-time member of the Gorge Vale Golf Club. Absolutely loved the game, but it drove him crazy trying to perfect the mechanics. You would know why if you saw him putt. “Goong” was his grand-kid’s biggest sports fan, attending every game that he possibly could. He was very proud of all their achievements and the fine adults they have become.
The family thanks the Doctors, Nurses, LPN’s, and HCA’s on 6CNorth and 7DSouth at VGH. The staff was marvelous in providing the care and compassion for Peter throughout his stay.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers, please donate to the Victoria Hospital Foundation in Peter’s name.
No Service will be held as per his request, but he would love it if you raised a glass in his memory. Cheers!
Condolences may be offered to the family below.

Cynthia & Family: Annette and I are very saddened by Peter’s passing. We have the happy memory of the lovely lunch together last fall in our visit from Kentucky to Victoria. Peter and I played ball-hockey in his father’s church basement in 1941+ where I also lost half of a front tooth! Even better memories in later years during frequent visits “back home”. Along with Peter, the Der family were precious in those early years. Peter was always the gentleman and he will be greatly missed! Our prayers will follow you in these days of adjustment. We commit Peter into the Lord’s care as we do for you and the family. Love, Earl & Annette McInnes
