Peter Joseph "Dobbie" DOBSON

Peter's time with us at Tainui Rest Home may have been short, but he made a lasting impression on everyone around him. I will miss your morning check-ins after buying the NZ Herald ("a real newspaper") and how you would share a bit of your "sneaky" chocolate bar with me. Rest in peace, Peter, from all of us at Tainui Rest Home.

Great memories of NP Aero Club. Peter was always so encouraging when I was learning to fly and he was always at the front for any work around the club RIP in Heaven's Hangar

Dobbie was a special friend of my parents ( Charlie and Isabel Sparkes ) I have many memories of him visiting our home frequently, chatting over a cup of tea. In later years as we passed through the airport frequently he always seemed to be there and was always nice to catch up with him. RIP Dobbie.
