A loyal friend since childhood. Great memories from Kepa St, Scamp and SPANZ in the lawn, baling cakes. Pete achieved much more in his life than a lot of us despite his challenges. Loved to laugh! Thanks for the memories, you were part of our family too. Go in peace to be with God and your family. Sally

I worked with Peter for many years, he was a caring and supportive colleague. Used to make our family Christmas cakes! He was fond of our kids growing up, and always took an interest in what they were doing in life. We last connected on the 3rd October, grateful for that last chat Peter; although unfortunately we will miss the coffee catch up we planned next month. Fly high, our condolences to your family.

Peter was a great mate and very active in the RNZAFA at a branch level. He was a committee member tasked with liaising with the ATC Squadrons in the Wellington Area. Peter received the RNZAFA Gold Star Badge awarded by the National Conference. R.I.P., my friend.

Peter was a friendly cousin who enjoyed a country stay some holidays in Nelson. He valued his family, would call on us on his way to tramping holidays
and was great to be with at family gatherings. We wish we could be at his service.
