Peter was a much loved and respected teacher/Principal at Montalto School. He influenced us in so many ways . His involvement in sport, playground games, driving us home on the school bus and classroom work ethic were constant and we admired him so much for going that extra mile. He is still often in our conversations. Our deepest sympathy to Aaron, Adele and families.
