I met Peter through my grandfather of 90+ Ernie Whitehouse. "Fergie" was always coming by to check in and take Ernie for sporting drives exploring the countryside, something that they both very much enjoyed. Peter had a way of lifting your spirits with his easy going manor and quick smile. He found the positive in things. Heaven is a perfect place. So may there be a wide open highway for Peter and Ernie to explore. Once more into the night! May God bless you

Peter was always full of laughter and up for a good time. He was great with the kids, not afraid of showing his love of children, by getting down on the floor and romping around or making them laugh in other ways. Yet, he could be serious if he felt you needed to talk. He made people feel welcome in his home by keeping his gardens looking in tip top shape and with his wit and charm when visiting. He made you laugh at him and yourself, he was a great guy, I will miss the twintkle in his eyes.......I enjoyed being his friend of many years and was honoured to be at his wedding. Thanks Peter for all the fun times..!

Peter was a wonderful neighbour for the years we lived next door.
He was always helpful and kind. We will all miss his smiles.
