Peter Phillpotts

11 November 193430 December 2024

To my family and friends:

Have you ever stopped to think, how when you’re going to die
They wrap you up in a big white shirt,
They put you in the ground and they cover you with dirt
The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
They come in thin and they go out stout
They bring their friends and their friends friends too
And OH what a hell of a mess they make of you!!!!

Love Peter P.

PHILLPOTTS (WITHANESS), Peter.
Sadly departed 30 December 2024 after a short illness.  Much loved husband for over 60 years of Margaret (deceased) and darling dad to Susan and Glen and father-in-law and friend to Gary (deceased) and Drew.  Special buddy of Sammy. Born 11 November 1934.  Lucky enough to celebrate his 90th birthday together. Loved by his many nieces, nephews, and friends. Loved life to the full and always had a joke to tell. Very much missed. We will celebrate Peter’s long innings on Thursday 9 January at 10.30am at The North Harbour Chapel of Dil’s Funeral Services, 185 Schnapper Rock Rd, Albany.

Funeral service held at Dil's Funeral Services
