Dear Ruth & Family,
I wish to pass on my love & hugs to you all at this sad time.
I was blessed to have spent sometime with Pete a couple of days before his passing and will always remember his heart felt and sincere bear hugs that he gave. He was truly a gentle, kind and caring soul. I feel honoured and blessed to have been part of his family for over 30 years.
Much love & big hug Jay xo

Peter was a really good man who enriched the lives of those he came in contact with.
Be it as a friend or his contribution to the service clubs to which he belonged or to the Church he and Ruth attended fegularly. He will be missed but surely his life left the world a better place
