I am saddened to hear of Peter´s passing.
Whilst our relationship was professional I am sorry to have missed the opportunity to pay my final respects at his funeral and will remember him fondly.
It was a pleasure to have known Peter.

Ah Pete. So young, life is not fair. We had some fabulous times and so many laughs in the BMX days. Smorgasbord meals at what was then The White Heron Lodge. Scaring us silly when you peered, in the dark, through our kitchen window dressed as a gorilla! That "cackle" laugh was so infectious. So sorry we did not catch up over the last decade. Rest in peace our beautiful friend.
