I'm glad you're at peace, give Mum & Dad a hug from us, Love you Paolo & Tina

Dearest Peter, Thankyou for your love and friendship over many years. You are home where you belong in Jesus arms. Thankyou for holding Josh’s hand and being an example of faith. We love you dearly.
I remember the first time Peter walked down the aisle of our church at Tranmere, in 1975 ! A well respected and admired priest. Many great memories.
Vale Fr Peter. Fondly remembered by your old mates who spent many years in your excellent and humorous company in the Adelaide Seminary (SFXS Rostrevor, Adelaide 1967 - 1973). Rest in Peace old friend. 'Til we meet again. 1 Corinthians: 4-5.
Peter you were one of a kind! A dear and faithful friend who enriched my life as we journeyed together - often not even in the same country, for fifty years, since we first met at Thebarton. So many wonderful memories of the times we spent in ministry together, at meals, and during your suffering, and the fun we shared with others. Condolences to your family whom I came to know and love also. I am so sorry I can’t be present for your final celebration. I will be with you in spirit as I watch on from afar here in Ireland, with tears for sure, but joy also, as I know you are now at peace and united with Billy and your family in heaven.
sadly missed but now united with Billy. may you rest in peace forever, God Bless you Pete.
With thanks to God for the ministry of dear Fr. Peter for his years in the Mount Gambier and other parts of the South East - especially for teaching us to pray!
