Peter was a very popular character and liked by everyone. We go back a long way to when I started work in the motor trade at Rice Bros, and then at BUA and socially as a sportsman. Peter was a remarkable all round games player at Football, Cricket, and Golf. In more recent times we would meet in Swan Walk in Horsham with his lovely wife June, until she passed away. Peter was a life long friend, along with many others, he will be sadly missed. R.I.P Peter.
