Yesterday

Our sympathy to Marg & Family, we met Peter a long time ago when he was a Stock agent for PPG in Kaikoura early 60´s and I was at Secondary School and Ron was shearing and his Dairy and Pig farming days. while Peter was in Kaikoura Ron & Donny Kennedy used to play rugby and socialize with him.
My family the Harnett´s had Dairy Farms and the local Butcher shop so did plenty of stock trading and Peter was dedicated to his job and always had a
genuine and kind manner and assisted us in our farming.
We did have the opportunity to met up with Peter and you Margaret in later years.

Rest in peace now Peter.
