RIP Peter.
You were always a happy man with a smile on your face, and an accent to boot!!

So sorry to hear of Uncle Pete's passing. Even though we we'd not seen eachother in many many years. I hold dear the memories of childhood and him racing out the door to fight a fire. His smiley face, his grumpy face, cuppa by the plenty and Friday nights with our families and Krispy biscuits! And sneaking into the front room to play with the soda water bottle! Kilts, sing songs and music!
My deepest love to Peter and Jude and the rest of your families.
Much love!
Jenny

A true gentleman who loved life. He was full of memories of those he loved; and what a talent in voice and guitar. He will be greatly missed at McKenzie Lifestyle Village. Condolences to all his family.
How you can show support

A loving Brother, born in Scotland, spent most of his life in New Zealand. Sadly missed but the family has lovely memories. He was kind, generous and we will never forget him. Rest in peace.
