Peter Abram passed away peacefully on Sunday, July 27, 2025, at his home at Chartwell Allendale Station in Barrie. He was in his 98th year.
He was born on March 14, 1928, in Toronto and was predeceased by his parents, Earnest and Elsie Abram.
Pete worked for Bell Canada (Newmarket and Midland) for 35 years. He, along with his first wife, Betty, were founding members of the Huronia Handgun Club. He was a Canadian champion marksman for many years, competed in the Olympic trials in 1968 and participated in the PanAm Games. He was a Bell Pioneer, a brother of the Tuscan Lodge AF and AM No 99 GRC, Newmarket, and was a partner in establishing, HAPAMP, a utility contract company, that is still in operation in Elmvale, ON. He spent many years with the Midland Minor Hockey organization as a team manager and, most notable, as a trainer.
He loved the outdoors, loved to camp and loved to travel. He was an avid garage saler and his greatest satisfaction came from knowing he’d found a great deal. Pete had a huge heart and a terrific sense of humour.
Pete was predeceased by his first wife of 33 years, Betty (Topper), and is survived by his current wife of 38 years, Irma (Drummond). He will be lovingly remembered by his children, Mike (Leanne), Jane (David), Pat (Jennifer) and his step-son, Wayne Drummond, as well as 9 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
A special thank you is extended to the staff at Allandale Station, in particular those in Assisted Living. The care that was provided to dad/Peter over the last 3 tears was greatly appreciated.

Posted on: Thursday, August 7, 2025Our sincere condolences to the entire family. We have fond memories of Uncle Pete. We treasure the few photos we have of Ernest and Elsie with him, as well as this one with his sister, Janet. (Late 1930s, Richmond Hill?)

I have many fond memories of your Father.
Mr Abram was the best trainer and respected role model our hockey team ever had.
