Peter and I met when I started work at Direct Transport in 1978. We became friends as well as colleagues and that friendship has lasted for 45 years. Whenever I revisited Rotorua, Peter and Pauline always warmly welcomed me into their home. Peter was a kind and thoughtful person with a great sense of humour. He was a wonderful person to know and I will always remember him with affection. Please accept the sincere condolences of both myself and my husband Ian.
