Mr Peter and my grandfather, Stanley Stewart St was close friends. As long as I e been on this earth I remembered Mr Peter being at my grandparents. For a while I thought he was an uncle. We definitely considered him family to this day. My fondest memory was his laugh! As a child I may not have understood what the grown ups talked about but I knew once they started laughing Mr Peter was gonna hit the floor and make everybody laugh even harder and he never disappointed lol. Always smiling, always happy to see him coming and sad to see him go. You will be missed and always loved.
