January 7, 1939 - September 17, 2024

In loving memory ~

With broken hearts we announce the passing of a remarkable husband and father, Peter Bracchi on September 17, 2024.

Peter was born January 7, 1939 in Farini D'Olmo, Italy. He grew up for a few years in Le Moline, Italy before he made a very brave journey alone to Canada at just 16 years old.

Peter settled in the Comox Valley in the early 70's and started Whitehall Tires Ltd., where his easy smile greeted his customers for 40 years. He was very proud that his son Rick continues what he started to this day.

Peter and his wife of 30 years, Isabelle, live in Comox in a home filled with love, grandchildren and great grandchildren. He loved his family, classic cars, poker, fishing, and football.

Peter was a baseball coach, a past Grand Master of the International order of Odd Fellows, and a member of the Courtenay Classic Car Club. His classic cars were seen for decades in parades throughout Courtenay, Comox, Cumberland and Qualicum.

Throughout his life Peter was gifted with many good friends. His home was always a welcoming place to enjoy coffee, conversation, jokes and playing cards.

His Family- son Rick Bracchi, daughter Susan Bracchi and grandson. Gordon (Vicky) Smith and grandchildren, Irv and Tracey Smith (deceased) and grandchildren, Cheri and Anella Kahemoe and grandchildren, Debbie Galpin and grandson. Sister Maria Pumati and nephew Romano.

A service will be held at 10:30 a.m. on October 6, 2024 at Native Sons Hall following with a procession to the Courtenay Cemetery.
