We wish to extend our sympathies to all of Peter’s family. Peter in a word was EXCEPTIONAL a veritable delightful Gentleman Nothing better can be said than when Peter was recognised as Realtor of the Century there was no hint of dissension in real estate ranks. But his magnificent character extended well beyond his work

My sympathy to Peter's family. Peter was a distinguished valuer and advisor who shared his talents generously over many decades, particularly with CCS Disability Action when I was on the Management Committee and National Board over 35 years. He will be long remembered.

Our sympathy to Marg & Family, we met Peter a long time ago when he was a Stock agent for PPG in Kaikoura early 60´s and I was at Secondary School and Ron was shearing and his Dairy and Pig farming days. while Peter was in Kaikoura Ron & Donny Kennedy used to play rugby and socialize with him.
My family the Harnett´s had Dairy Farms and the local Butcher shop so did plenty of stock trading and Peter was dedicated to his job and always had a
genuine and kind manner and assisted us in our farming.
We did have the opportunity to met up with Peter and you Margaret in later years.
