Dear Gillian and Family, I was very sorry to hear of Pete’s passing. He was super friend to our Dad and he spoke of you both often through the years, and I know Pete had a very special place in Dad’s heart. The stories from Ruakura were great ones I still remember. Our Dad was lucky to have a friend like Pete – and yourself, I hope they are sharing cheeky jokes together once again. Thinking of you all at this very sad time.
Kind Regards
Marie Stewart
