Many wonderful memories from living with him in mosgiel as a very young boy to sailing with him around the west coast of nz. Maybe gone but never forgotten love Jeremy, stella ,jasmine harry
What a very full and successful life Peter had. I have just watched his service and was amazed to hear of the many and varied activities that he was involved in during his life time. I was also very interested to hear of his purchase of a crib at Harrington Point as I also have relatives with holiday homes down there. A long life well lived. Peter Shanks

Condolences to all the Smith family, thinking of you all, lots of love, RIP Uncle Peter
Today, we gather to honor my grandfather — a man whose presence, even from a distance, left a lasting mark on my life. I may not have spent as much time with him as I would have wished, but the love and respect I held for him runs deep. To me he was a man of quiet strength and steady values. Though our paths did not cross as often as I would have liked, I will always cherish the knowledge that you were part of my story A foundation in my family’s history, a man I could look up to, and someone whose life has shaped mine in ways I may never fully measure. Rest peacefully, Granddad. You will be missed but remembered With love from Troy, Sharon, Fletcher & Claudia Smith.
