Brother, you've spent years being the guy who lifts everybody else up — the jokester, the positive voice, the guy who makes hard days lighter. Now it's our turn to carry some of that for you.

It's a big one, and the lead-up messes with your head. But from someone who's been through it: the fear before surgery is worse than the recovery after it.

Your engine's got a few miles on it. Time for a little maintenance, and you'll be back to your old self before long.

Take it one step at a time. Recovery comes slower than you want day-to-day, but faster than you think when you look back.

We need you back — not just because of work, but because places are better when you're in them.

— Kal Hourd

Carah & Family

Wishing you all the best as you head into surgery. You are one of the strongest and most resilient people I know, and I have complete confidence that you'll face this with the same courage and grace you always do.

You're blessed to have such a wonderful support system — and that truly is the greatest medicine. Before you know it, you'll be building your dream home and making beautiful new memories with Delle.

You've got this — we're all rooting for you!

Get well soon — Carah and Family

Vanessa Stobart

I'm not sure there will ever be a way to fully put into words how much I appreciate you.

I met you when I was a young girl full of sass, energy, and attitude. I can confidently say that I would not have made it through so much without your support, guidance, and genuine care. You stepped in to listen, offer advice, and simply be there for me — as a friend, a boss, a mentor, and a father figure.

You helped that stubborn young girl focus on what is most important in life: family, friendships, and love. For that, I thank you more than you will ever know.

But now it's time to flip the script. Turn off the laptop. Give yourself the time and grace to heal. You have spent years showing up for everyone else. Now let us show up for you.

Love you — Vanessa Stobart

John & Diane Nash

Hey PJ, first and foremost, I love ya — and our whole family loves ya too. This is just another bump in the road, and you'll handle this with the same strength and grace you've shown through every challenge.

I'm so grateful our paths crossed through the Mavs. No surprise your heart is still strong… you just wore out the fuel lines. We're close by — if you or Delle need anything at all, please don't hesitate. You're the guy that made me think it's okay to call a best friend a brother. Rest, heal, and be well soon, bro!

— John & Diane Nash

R.J. & Holly Carron

I see you as the fun-loving, full-energy heartbeat of the Mavericks. Your strength of character, insights, and ideas have been truly inspiring to watch over the last six years, and getting to know you, Delle, and the kids has added a ton to our lives.

I know you will get through this temporary setback with strength, courage, and humour. It won't be long before you are fully back on your feet and steering the ship. Holly and I are here if you guys need anything.

Much love, brother — R.J. & Holly

Denise & Dale Hansen

Denise and I are sending you strength and positive thoughts, PJ. A tough decision — but pretty sure you will come out with amazing success, like a true Maverick. Plow through this temporary road block and we'll see you on the flip side!

— Denise & Dale

Glenn Smaha

PJ my friend, I know you will approach this with the positive attitude we have all come to know. You are in great hands, surrounded by a loving and caring support network. Whether family, friends, or business associates, you have a not-so-small army at your back sending positive energy towards a successful outcome and a speedy recovery.

I look forward to hearing the good news. Keep well — cheers!

— Glenn

Jay & Sharon Abell

Sharon and I — and all your brothers — wish you the very best outcome for your surgery and a speedy recovery. There is too much great scotch, fine cigars, and 3am jalapeño bacon yet to be enjoyed on this ride!

We love you, brother. If you or Delle need absolutely anything at all, please let me know and I will make it happen.

Your brother — Jay Abell

Craig Hruska

When they said you had heart problems, I wasn't surprised. No member of the Mavs — past or present — has a bigger one. Not surprised that big heart wore out. Excited to see what you can do with an upgraded one.

I was a little surprised your liver didn't give out first. Ha! Here's to a speedy recovery, my brother. Let's compare battle scars this summer.

All the best — Craig

Bruce & Sharon Giesinger

PJ, you are a big-hearted guy that requires some minor repair. We know once you get through the difficult wait time and have your surgery, you will come out bigger-hearted than ever. We're sure you'll be taking some of this rest time to work on your Offside memoirs. Sending you all our positive vibes — can't wait to see you soon.

Love — Bruce & Sharon Giesinger

Trevor & Darcy Johnstone

PJ, we heard that you are ground under repair — and honestly, surprised to hear that. Cigars and scotch aside, we wish you all the best through your journey and hope that you have a speedy recovery.

All the best — Trevor & Darcy

Andrew, Chelcy, Wills & Wren Tallas

Sending our very best from the whole family. We can't wait to catch up once you're feeling better — wishing you a smooth recovery and a speedy return to full health.

— Andrew, Chelcy, Wills & Wren

Shayne Butcher

You've been a good friend to me, Peej, even when I didn't deserve it. You got this.

Kip Reghenas

Hi PJ, I found out about your upcoming heart surgery and I want you to know that I will be thinking and praying for you. I know it will be successful and you will truly be a Big Healthy Hearted Maverick!

Love you lots — Kip Reghenas

Mike Dreger

Better get well soon — High River is two months away!

Derek Boniecki

PJ, get this over with and I'll see you golfing next week! I'm sure it will be all good. And as a Polish Catholic, I'll also be praying for you!

— Derek Boniecki ❤️

Andrew MacKenzie

Just wanted you to know I'm thinking about you and wishing you all the best with your surgery. You've been a lot more than a boss to me over the years. You've given me opportunities, believed in me, and helped shape my career in ways I'll always be grateful for. You're one of the few people who can still call a 42-year-old man "kid."

Take care of yourself and focus on getting better — and seriously, get some rest. Stay off that damn computer. We've got it under control over here. We'll all be here waiting for you to come back.

Thinking of you, bro.

— Andrew MacKenzie

David Udy

I'll be honest — when I heard the news, my first thought was of course it’s a triple bypass. You’ve spent so much of your life giving so much of yourself — to your family, to the Mavericks, to every cause that needed a champion — that your heart probably just figured it deserved a tune-up.

Seriously though, what I know about you is this: the same fight and generosity you’ve poured into everything you love is exactly what’s going to carry you through this.

You’ve been one of the good ones as long as I’ve known you. The kind of guy who leads not because he has to, but because he genuinely cares. That doesn’t go unnoticed — not by me, not by any of us.

Rest. Heal. Let people take care of you for once. You’ve earned it.

Thinking of you and your family.

Thinking of you — David Udy

Dave Ruby

Get well soon, buddy. Sorry to hear you’re a little under the weather — especially for a guy with such a big heart. Thanks for always being so kind, positive, and upbeat. Wishing you a successful surgery and a smooth recovery.

All the best, my friend.

All the best — Dave Ruby

Trevor J. Tomanik

I’m thinking about you. I/we are wishing you a successful surgery and a speedy recovery. Sending you love, prayers, and best wishes your way.

Morgan Nash

I’ve known you for most of my life, which means I’ve had a front row seat to something a lot of people eventually figure out about you.

You genuinely believe in people.

You give people opportunities. You encourage them. You see things in people that they don’t always see in themselves.

I know because I’ve been on the receiving end of it more than once.

You helped me get my start in this industry fresh out of school. You gave me another opportunity when Broadview was rebuilding the design team. Then again when I moved into marketing.

Looking back, it’s hard to overstate the impact those opportunities had on me.

I have a job I love, work with people I care about, and just bought my first home. When I look back at how I got here, I see your fingerprints all over it.

Through Maverick events, your friendship with my dad, and the way you’ve always cared about our family, you’ve been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the people who help shape who we become.

You’ve been one of those people for me.

Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and my family over the years. It has meant more than you probably know.

We’re all rooting for you and can’t wait to have you back.

Morgan Nash

To my brother PJ who has been a rock in my life since we met. The first time at his showhome in Dressage, Silverado where I admired a piece of art only to have it delivered to my office a year later when the showhome closed. An incredible act of thoughtfulness that started a beautiful friendship that has spanned 20 years. The countless gestures of kindness during the entire time. It is no wonder your heart needs an overhaul as it has been working overtime your entire life.

I love the way you push my buttons and when I miss a shot on the golf course you tease me about playing “like a girl”. I love the way you reach out knowing instinctively I need your guidance and support. I love the way you walk into a room and everyone feels they are the most important person in your life. I love your kindness, your humbleness, your sense of humor, your zest for life, your tolerance and not being judgemental. I love how you lift others up, acknowledging their achievements while being humble about the milestones you have accomplished. And I love you for simply being you.

With love and gratitude for the incredible years of friendship we have enjoyed. Get your ass out of the hospital as soon as possible as I have a box of the finest cigars and a box of the finest scotch that we need to enjoy. And I only want to enjoy it with my best friend.

Carol Oxtoby

Malcom

Over the past 15 years, I've had the privilege of working with you not only as a boss, but also as a friend. Your leadership, integrity, and loyalty have made a lasting impact on myself and how I've run my own business You've also always made me feel like I'm important to your team and treated me with respect. Thank you for the support you've given throughout the years. I know everyone misses seeing you around the office, and probably now realize how difficult your job is lol. I know without a doubt you have the strength to get through this and will recovery faster than most. Hopefully... because I need to ask for a raise soon.

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Dee Dreger

PJ! Honestly, getting a triple bypass just to prove you're the ultimate 'Big Hearted Maverick' feels a bit extreme, but I love the dedication! 🤣
I'm sorry you missed out on Italy, but look at the bright side... now you're officially upgraded with a brand-new, high-performance engine!
Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Bruce Staszczak

PJ, you're one of the most kindhearted amazing human being that I know. You have always put everyone else first. Time for you to take a little time for yourself and let all the people that love you give a little back. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks for believing in me and all the opportunities you've given me over the years. Most of all thanks for being an amazing friend. Love you brother!

Frank Guido

​Hey PJ! Just wanted to send some good vibes your way before the big surgery. Think of it less as a medical thing and more like a high-performance engine tune-up. They're just going in to upgrade the horsepower! You're one of the strongest guys I know, and I have zero doubt you're going to breeze right through this. Sending you tons of love strength and positive
energy man. Can't wait to catch up once you're back and fully charged. Rest up, brother!

Frank Guido

Deb Terakita

There is nothing that can be said to take away the scare factor of this PJ. You are strong, tenacious and this will simply be a speed bump on your path. This will be another thing where you can "show us how it's done". I am sending strength, healing vibes and hugs. We are all here for you. Deb

Deb Terakita

Jack and Danielle

Well Peter John, I would expect nothing more than when you do something, you go big. Danielle and I were chatting the other day when we heard of your operation about all of the different hats you wear and how, in each one of them, looking after others and making sure that they are having the best time or experience is what really makes you tick.

We're both super happy and grateful to have you in our lives in all of the various aspects of a friendship, business, and chuckwagons. We wish you a speedy and full recovery and know that we will see you out and about, probably way sooner than you're supposed to. Godspeed, PJ. We'll see you out there.

Christian Ravary

My friend; what a curveball. I still remember my very first interaction I had with you back in 2014 when I kicked you off a Sterling job site for not having the required PPE not knowing who you were… Blake to come to me in the afternoon and asked me if I knew who I removed from site haha!

Just to have you show up to my desk a few days later with brand new boots and asking me if these would do… "yup, they will Sir" I humbly replied…

Couple years later when I lost my father unexpectedly; flowers and a note from you and the Broadview crew was on my desk.

I will always remember that.

Last year when life threw a curveball at me; there you were ready to help and connect me with people…

You have always been that amazing guy helping others, making people laugh, raising people up and just a fantastic person to get to know and appreciate. It's now our turn to help and support you in return.

PJ; I want you to know that I will be cheering you on from the sidelines and can't wait to see you when you are better. I know a fighter like you will get over that bump and glide to recovery.

Good luck with everything my friend, I will keep you and the whole family in my thoughts.

💪 ❤️

The wifey

Honey,
Why you do this too me Damie. Lol 😉

I was thinking the name of this website is very fitting. So fitting in fact that I'm sure that you have just over used that heart of yours helping and loving others. Now it's time to sit back and let all your family and friends return the favor.
We have been through quite a bit over the years you and I, this will just be another page in the book of Delle & PJ. I know exactly what you're thinking… I mean PJ & Delle. Heh heh
You have kept my heart so full of love over the years that my heart will be very happy to take a shift for the next few weeks/months. So you just sit back and take it all in…soak up the love of our friends and families hearts, while yours heels.

I love you very much.
Your Baby-Doll

PJ,

As I read all these messages it doesn't surprise me and shows how much you are loved by so many. We heard surgery went well and we couldn't be happier. Now it's time to get out of there! ( I know they won't want you to leave cause of course you have shown your roommates the loving caring and fun man you are ) We love ya and wishing you a speedy recovery!

Tamara Pearson

Hi PJ,

Just wanted to send you a little note to let you know I'm thinking about you and cheering you on from afar.

The news of your surgery came as quite a surprise, but if anyone can take on a challenge with strength, humour, and determination, it's you. Even from a hospital room, it sounds like you're still making friends and keeping spirits up, which says everything about the kind of person you are.

Wishing you a successful surgery, steady healing, and a smooth recovery. There are a lot of people rooting for you and looking forward to hearing about the next chapter of your adventures once you're back on your feet.

One day at a time. You've got this.

Thinking of you both and sending positive vibes,

Tamara Pearson

We've been thinking of you and Delle lots today. Sending you both lots of love as you recover from your surgery. You are surrounded by care, wrapped in prayer, and held in hope. One step, one breath, one healing day at a time — you've got this! ♥️ Gil & Glenis

Maher & Lourdes

Hi PJ, this is your roommate Maher!
Oh my friend, God knows how relieved and happy I felt when I heard that your surgery went well today. Jenny, Lourdes and I have been praying for you and thinking about you all day.
When they told me that I will be transferred to a different room, I was really anxious because I didn't know what to expect. But the moment I walked in, you welcomed me with, "We've been waiting for you!" I'll never forget that. Right away, you made me feel at home.
Even though we only spent a short time together, it was quality time my friend. We built a friendship that I will always cherish. You have a special way of making people feel welcome. Even while waiting for your own surgery, you were always helping others and keeping everyone's spirits up.
It was also a pleasure meeting your lovely family.
I'm thankful that Jenny, Barry, Marlene, and I had the chance to meet you. We were only together for a short time, but those days meant a lot to me. When I think back on my time in the hospital, one of the things I'll remember most is the people I shared that room with.
Now it's your turn to rest and heal, brother. Take it one day at a time. Please know that there are many people praying for you and cheering you on.
We hope to see you again soon, sit down, talk, laugh, and catch up!

PS. Don't forget The Waltons and whose the Grandpa!!! 😂

God bless you, we're all rooting for you!

Maher & Lourdes

Chris and Sheri

PJ, at this point you're not in a hospital, you're running a meet‑and‑greet. Start charging admission.

You got this!

Dear PJ, jeesh where do I start?! First off so much love and healing sent to you from our family.

You are such a kind soul! You're funny! And the life of the party! Honestly just down right genuine!
I've heard many stories from John SR and everytime I can't help but giggle.
I'm proud to be apart of the Broadview family! And now our son too!
Your advice! Smiles! and hugs are always appreciated!
What a stupid curve ball life has sent you but I know your Woolf pack has your back! Stay strong! Stay you! Can't wait to see you back on your feet, strong and healthy!

P.s if Delle needs someone to beat at golf while you're healing I got you!! Hahaha

So much love, Johnny, Samantha, Aaiden, Aalexis and Aarianna Kulcsar
