Peter Devenish, Senior Engineering Technologist
It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of our longtime employee, Peter Devenish, on February 1, 2013. Peter had courageously dealt with a prolonged illness in recent years. Needless to say, we will all miss him more than words can express.
Peter was a large part of the Skelton Brumwell family for 38 years.
Through those years, Peter was responsible for the detailed design of municipal and private servicing requirements water supply and distribution systems, drainage and stormwater management analysis, storm and sanitary sewer design, road systems, construction supervision, contract administration and various aspects of road design and construction equipment on too many projects to count.
Peter was the story teller and the story keeper of the staff, and he knew how to use a slide rule, a planimeter and an abacus board.
We would like extend our deepest condolences to the Devenish Family. Peter will be sadly missed by all of us who knew him.
