Pete has finally laid his last brick, on Wednesday, 11th February 2026, at Longwood Rest Home, Riverton, after a long and very courageous battle.

Ten days after his 82nd birthday.

Dearly loved husband and soulmate of Margaret for 60 years and 11 months.
Much loved and respected father of Lindsay and Karen, and Dave.
Loved grandfather of Morgan, Ben, Scott, Damen; and Lily-Ana.
Loved brother and brother-in-law of Leslie*, Brian and Suzanne, Murray* and Susan, June* and Alan*, and Anne and Peter; Robert* (Sonny), and Keith Caithness.
Loved son of Annie* and Peter*.
Loved uncle and cousin.
Special friend to Jason and Penny, Jayde and Adam.
A great friend to many.

Now at peace.

As per Peter’s instruction, a private cremation has taken place, and he is now “Looking Back” on his full and wonderful life. A special thank you to the staff at Bupa Riverton and Hospice Southland for their care of Pete.
