Good Bye To A Good Friend

The news hit hard. The emails flew all day yesterday across Ontario and the country in Conservative circles.

We lost a good friend Thursday night when Peter Naglik's vehicle left Boundary Road around 2:30 in the morning.

I had met Peter on several occasions over the past few years, but none more impressionable than the two campaign training seminars he spoke to us at. He definitely knew his stuff and his one on one advice and counsel was wise and genuine.
I will always remember him for that.

Peter had worked at one time as a speechwriter for Stephen Harper and had been very active with the Ontario PC party as well, especially in Eastern Ontario.

Federally, he was the very successful campaign manager for the now elected MP for Glengarry-Prescott-Russel, Pierre Lemieux.

He'll be missed and inspired by many.

The latest that I have on arrangements arrived this morning in an email from Ontario PC Eastern region president, Judy Bobka

I'm very sad to report that Peter Naglik died in a car accident on Thurs. Sept 29, 2006.

Many in Eastern Ontario had the good fortune to be encouraged, supported or directed by Peter Naglik on political affairs.

The arrangements for Peter are as follows:

Visitation at Paul O'Connor Funeral Home, 1939 Lawrence Ave E, Scarborough, Ont., Wednesday, October 4, from 3-5 pm and 7-9 pm and Thursday 9:30-10:30 am (I believe at the church prior to the funeral). Funeral Thursday, October 5, at St. Martin de Porres Roman Catholic Church at 10:30 am, 4179 Lawrence Ave. E. , Scarborough , Ont

For those people traveling from Ottawa a bus service will be departing from the Confederation Building on Wellington at 5am and returning from Toronto Thursday afternoon. If you would like to go via this bus please RSVP to Vida Brodie at vidabrodie@sympatico.ca
