Hamish PETRIE Obituary

A life of two halves, filled with tenacity, courage, and wit. On Saturday, August 9, 2025, peacefully, surrounded by family, aged 80 years. Loved husband of Culhane, Dad and father-in-law of Rachel and Derek, Kirsten, Bronwyn and Jade, adored Pop of Ruby, Charlie, Tom, Lily, and George. Cherished brother and brother-in-law of Fiona and Ken, respected in-law, uncle, cousin, and friend to many. Special thanks to the numerous people who provided care and support to Hamish over the years. As were Hamish's wishes, a private cremation has been held. Visits and calls to Culhane at home are welcome.

Thinking of the wider Petrie family. Hamish impressed us with his optimism and wit; and his woodworking and gardening skills. We have a few pieces that Hamish created for us that we will treasure. Much love to you all. RIP Hamish. From Jo Cool & family x

Dear Culhane and Bronwyn, I was so sorry to see that Hamish has died. May he rest in peace. I always used to enjoy reading Hamish's letters to The Press. I remember teaching Bronwyn at Harewood School ages ago! Good years! May your good memories and those of others comfort you at this time of loss.
