Class of 1960
4766 PETER ANTHONY CADEAU
4766 Peter Anthony Cadeau, who was born on 12 November 1936 in Hamilton, Ontario, passed away peacefully in his sleep on 10 April 2010, surrounded by his loving family at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto.
Before entering Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean in 1955, Peter had attended Burlington High School. Upon completing the Preparatory Year at CMR and having spent the following summer with the RCAF, Peter transferred to the university system at McMaster University. While there, he competed in five field events at the Dominion Track and Field Championships, held at St-Lambert, QC, in June 1957 . He emerged with one gold, one silver and three bronze medals. He was later informed that he had won the Senior Men’s Aggregate Trophy awarded by the Canadian Legion, Branch 68.
At McMaster University, Peter organized a Liberal Club. Upon graduation in 1960 with a degree in Political Science and Economics, he moved to Ottawa. There he joined the National Liberal Federation as the Executive Director for both the Young Liberal Federation and the University Federation. The Liberals, led by the Hon. Lester B. Pearson, were in Opposition with but 49 members. Peter’s job was to organize and build the youth wing in all 10 provinces. So he travelled, met with and addressed young people across Canada and together they organized and they built. On occasion, while in Ottawa, he would walk to Parliament, sit in the Commons Gallery behind John Diefenbaker and watch the little Liberal team led by Lester Pearson, Paul Martin Sr. and Paul Hellyer do the work that they loved to do. It was a stimulating time in Peter’s life.
In the summer of 1963 it was time to move on, and so began a 38-year career in the investment industry. During that time Canada experienced the evolution of the bank-owned investment firm. As a shareholder, Peter benefitted when his firm was sold to the Royal Bank of Canada in the late 1980s.
Some time earlier in his career, Peter was asked to take his tools and attend management school in New York. He would be managing branches. This was as close as he would come to having a military career: managing branches in Hamilton, ON; Binghamton and Buffalo, NY, and Toronto. He imagined himself as a Lieutenant, a Captain, a Major, and, finally, a Colonel. It was a time of growth.
What Peter did for a living permitted him to visit 19 countries; to fly on the Concorde; to experience the Orient Express from Calais to Venice; to sail on the famous Windsong in the South Pacific. Each of these was a magical event and he was grateful that they occurred.
In 1988, when the firm was sold to the Royal Bank, Peter was able to make a donation to McMaster University, which was kind enough to honour that gift by naming a room in the new Engineering Building after Peter, and to post his name in the Hall of the DeGroote School of Business. For this he and his family will be forever grateful. The year 1988 was also when he learned to fly and acquired a licence. As a recreational pilot and an air show enthusiast, Peter often wondered what might have been had he qualified as aircrew almost fifty years earlier.
Along the way, Peter had married and fathered three wonderful sons: Peter had divorced in 1991 and in 1997 married Ellen. She brought three beautiful daughters and eight grandchildren to the Christmas table. The family is a Brady Bunch minus Alice!
Ellen and Peter made their home on Vancouver Island, in the village of Youbou on the shore of Cowichan Lake. With Bald Mountain across the lake and Mount Good behind them, they are tucked into a unique Mediterranean climate on a lake that never freezes.
Peter is survived by Ellen Cadeau, his wife of 16 years, who referred to him as ASweet P,@ and three sons, three daughters and 11 grandchildren, a family he kept bringing together with friends to talk, laugh, play and love. He always remembered his military college classmates fondly, especially those with whom he served in Champlain Squadron at CMR for it was a very special time for him. Peter was looking forward to seeing his classmates at the 50th reunion of the Class in October 2010.
