Words cannot express the immense sadness I feel to hear of Pete´s passing.
I met Pete and Carolyne in London in 1998. We became great friends and shared many happy times. Pete was always such a gentleman - kind, patient, generous, decent and funny. I remember the laughter, the pranks and the many nicknames.
Sending my sincere condolences to Carolyne, Angus, Josephine, Catherine and James.

Dear Grant Family
I am very sad to hear of Petes unexpected death recently. I enjoyed playing rugby with Pete at Marist (circa 1991-1994) and sharing many recreational & social activities. Despite drifting apart after leaving Chch in 1998 I always imagined we would catch up again. Now I regret not making the effort to experience his infectious humor and warm company again.
