SPLAWSKI- Mr. Peter James Splawski, age 69 years, passed away peacefully at home on Friday, May 1, 2015 with loving family by his side. Peter was born in Fort William on July 31, 1945, the child of Pete and Mary Splawski. He spent most of his childhood living in Atikokan before moving back to Thunder Bay in 1960. Peter graduated from Lakehead University with a Degree in Mining and Technology. He worked for many years as a surveyor and long hole engineer until 2000 when he changed occupations to become a long haul driver. Peter was a kind and generous man. He enjoyed playing acoustic guitar and gardening and had a great passion for fishing. Peter's greatest love was for his family and he was happiest when spending time with them. He built his family a log cabin, a place where many fond memories were made.
