elevated SeBdr Obituary
Peter Paul Treacy (80), of King City, passed away on March 24, 2025. Peter was born to Peter and Cathleen Treacy, on October 26, 1944 in Dublin, Ireland. He was a spirited child who found a part of himself in the arts, loving to draw, paint, and play the guitar. His life in Canada began at age fourteen, when his family made their way to Toronto. He would forever love his birth country but especially loved Canada, and enjoyed many robust conversations that intersected his chosen home, history, and the plight of hard-working people. Peter is predeceased by his cherished wife of 43 years, Frances Tantalo, who died in 2012. Peter is survived by his devoted children, Peter (Sonia), Jennifer (Nick), and Sean (Jessica). Adored by his six grandchildren as the sweetest “Da”, he will forever be missed by Isabella and Nicole Treacy, Celine and Sophie Rapallo, and Hayden and Dylan Treacy.
Peter’s loving spirit is carried on by his younger brothers and sisters, Kathleen, Patrick, Sean, Lorraine, and Margaret, and their spouses Barbara, Valerie, Charles, and Alan.
Peter’s joys included his quiet mornings at his cottage in Huntsville, neighbourhood walks at both the cottage and at home, and meeting up with the many friends he made wherever he went. These connections enriched his life, but the truth is all who knew him were made better by his conversation gifts, his open outlook on life, and his uniquely heartfelt wit about the world. He enjoyed taking special care to practice his weekly musical offerings for his Tuesday night music group, where he would strum his guitar and sing with friends. His family is comforted in the belief that he will spend eternity with the love of his life Frances, laughing about the world they built and dancing to some great music.
To honour Peter’s memory, a funeral service will take place at the Chapel of St. Joseph, 211 Langstaff Road East, Thornhill, on Friday, March 28 at 1:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Ontario Arts Foundation (OAC) in Peter’s name.
Dear Peter, Sonia, Isabella, Nicole and Cooper,

Sincerely,

Very sorry to hear of the passing of our cousin Peter Tracy our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this sad time
Hello Peter, Christine and myself wish to express our sincerest condolences to your entire family. Losing a loved one is never easy. I hope he had an easy passing and a wonderful before.
Jennifer,
Growing up, your home felt like a second home to me, and your dad always made me feel welcome. I will forever remember his warmth, charm, wit, and kindness. He truly was one of the great ones.
He had a special sparkle, a way of making people feel seen, and anyone lucky enough to know him would say the same. I’m grateful for the memories and the kindness he showed me. He will be deeply missed, but his light and legacy live on in his beautiful grandchildren.
Sending you and your family my deepest condolences and keeping you forever in my thoughts.
We were so deeply saddened to hear of Peter’s passing.
A truly kind soul and the most thoughtful neighbor anyone could ask for, he always greeted us with warmth and generosity.
Whether it was a friendly chat, a helping hand when it was needed most, or simply the comfort of his presence in passing on walks, Peter made King City feel special.
Our heartfelt condolences to the whole family during this time.
Jenn and family, please accept our sincere condolences. Your father sounds like a truly wonderful, loving man.
