Obituary of Rev. J. Peter Belec

Rev. J. Peter Belec

Passed away peacefully at Northumberland Hills Hospital in Cobourg on Wednesday November 29, 2023.

Survived by his wife Margaret (Pat). Beloved father to Debbie (Mike), David, Daniel (Andrea), Jon (Nicole), and Joel. Leaves behind many grandchildren.

Brother to Claude (Helen), Gilles (deceased) (Dianne), Lise (Ken), Carole (Mike) and Lorraine (Julien), as well as many nieces and nephews in Canada and the U. S. 

Peter graduated from Elim Bible Institute (Lima, N.Y.), and Colgate Theological Seminary (Rochester, N. Y.). 

He served as minister in numerous churches across Canada and the U. S. - in Montreal, QC; P. A; western N. Y.; N. C. and S. C.  Peter was blessed to have had the opportunity of going on a mission trip to Kenya early in his ministry, ending as a volunteer minister in several nursing homes once he retired. 

He had a natural gift for piano and loved to sing whenever given the opportunity. He couldn’t resist visiting churches whatever town he travelled to. 

He valued fellowship above all, always closing in prayer, and a “God bless you!” to everyone he met. 

Family wishes to thank the staff who lovingly cared for Peter at the Regency Manor, as well as those who provided special care in his final days at Northumberland Hills Hospital. 

Friends will be received at First Baptist Church, 57 John Street, Port Hope on Saturday, December 2, 2023 from 10:00 a.m. until time of service at 10:30 a.m. Laid to rest at Union Cemetery, Port Hope.
