Frank and Shirley ventured into the bar and hotel business where they became well known around the town of Drumheller with multiple establishments. Frank was still active in his career at Clemcor storage at the time of his passing. Frank and Shirley chased their son all around the western Canada with Doug’s racing passion. It was a family affair for many years. Then shortly after came his lovely grandchildren, (Cersten Caillie Jayden Peters)(Brayden Christie Capree Peters) which became their pride and joy.
