More than an Uncle, a second dad for most of the early years of my life, and a second family when Dad and Mum and all the brothers had moved to Oz. Trips to Invercargill were a highlight back in the days, or catching up at some random spot you were going to in the Bus. These are the good times I will always hold close. Tracey and I owe at lot to you and Hazel, the first time we talked was at your house at a Christmas party when I tripped over her foot, little did anyone know back then that 8 years later we would start a relationship and build our own family. Good thoughts and happy memories the our cousins and your families Go sing a song, Dad has the guitar waiting
Dad, Your Voyage can carry on with Mum now. Love and miss you always . Arohanui Irish fleet on our Voyage . Jay Sarahjane and Moana
I had the pleasure of working with Peter at PTL Newmans Coachlines in Queenstown. Always such a gentleman and great for a laugh, we had some fun times working together. I also have fond memories of visiting he and Hazel at Colac Bay. Such lovely people, my condolences to you all at this sad time
One of the loveliest men I have ever met. A real gentleman with a lovely voice. He will be sadly missed. RIP Peter

A true gentleman. Peter loved his country music and it was always a pleasure to listen to his lovely voice. United with his lovely Hazel. Rest easy Peter
