A faithful fellow worshipper and good friend.

It is with great sorrow I learned of the passing of Peter. Both myself and late wife had a long business association with Peter. Condolences to all his family. It is sad that Peter never saw the fruition of his long and hard work on the water export project. Maybe, one day in his memory it will become a reality.

I met Peter a few years ago through Rotary. In a short time I came to know what a wonderful man he was, full of integrity, patience for others, and good humor. I soon learned how vast his professional life had been. It was an extreme pleasure to know him. He would be someone I would want to meet again in the next world. I wish him the afterlife he hoped for.

Rest in peace Uncle Peter. What an amazing, alert, well informed, knowledgeable, intelligent and interesting man you were. You certainly made your mark on this world and I was so proud to call you my uncle. Peter, you were such a remarkable person who touched the lives of so many. I know you will now meet up with your beloved brothers and I’m sure you will have a fabulous time with them. Sending our condolences and deepest sympathy to the whole family Love from Annette Roselli (2nd daughter of Gary Roselli), Malcolm Townsend and Alicia and Amelia Townsend xxx

Uncle Peter traveled from New Zealand to Capetown, South Africa for my wedding. During Peters time in Capetown, my father, Gary , became ver ill. Because of Uncle Peters kind and caring nature, he offered to walk me down the aisle. Fortunately my father, Gary recovered enough to walk me down the aisle. Thank you Uncle Peter.
