I only had the pleasure of knowing Pete for about twenty odd years and in that time I can honestly say I have never met a more caring loving thoughtful man. From the first day I started Loyyang until the last day when I left, you said we would catch up for lunch every fortnight and you stayed true to your word. You are my best friend and always will be. I love you Pete and I will miss you so much. Just remember you owe me a coffee.
