Dear Ruth and Family,
Please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Peter.
Peter and yourself were lifelong friends to our late parents, Jocey and David Johns. Their lives were immeasurably enriched by your companionship, and we have the fondest memories of the many years of laughter and joy you all shared together.

Peter was a man of great character and a loyal friend. He will be deeply missed, but his memory will live on through the many stories of the wonderful times the four of you spent together.

Our thoughts are with you all.
With sincere sympathy,
Dan Ward and Vicky Ward
Brother and sister.

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

Sad to hear of the loss of a great man. Many happy tramping memories over the years. You always left a smile on our faces with all your fun.
My heartfelt Condolences to you all
Regards Vicki Samson OFTC member

Dear Ruth and Family,
We are very sorry to hear of the loss of Peter. He was a wonderful neighbour, and we so enjoyed hearing his stories and sharing time with him at Takamatua. He will be fondly remembered and greatly missed.
Kindest regards,
