Peter, your life’s journey is now over. For you that journey was much harder than that for many of us. I was glad you were a friend and am deeply saddened with your passing.

Dearest Peter,
From the time of your premature birth you had the loving support of your parents Sheila & Max, your younger sister Jeanette.
As you grew it was the Madden St families, Plozza’s, Morgan’s & others.
Then your workmates at Hazelwood Power, The Men’s Club, Morwell Football Club (you were a life member) followed by Gippsland Power where you turned off the lights if the boys were slow leaving the ground!!!
Pete you have so many friends & touched so many lives over your 66 years, ( I’m sure everyone has their own stories)
In your last years it was your nephew Brett, nieces Terri-Ann & especially Kristy-Lee who lovingly cared and supported you in sometimes trying circumstances.
Pete your family will miss you, your friends will miss you, I will miss your phone calls that started with ‘what ya doing useless’ and finished with ‘ I’ll
come up next week’

Now at Peace. You did it your way.

Loved cousin of Lyn, Cheryl, Kathie, Michael & their families.

Back in the arms of his loving family.

Rest peacefully Peter. You had a hard road all your life but you never made that road harder for others. I will miss our chats and and you checking if I needed a hand with anything. You have and always will be a gentleman.

Dear Pete,
Visiting you, Aunty Sheila, Uncle Max and Jeanette as kids was a highlight for my brother Mark and I.
You would always save the bottles for our visits then walk with us to the Milk Bar, we would cash them in and you would very patiently let us choose the lollies we wanted.
Thank you for such fond childhood memories.
Deepest sympathy to your family and friends
Jane Thomas and family

Dear Peter

Great memories of our days spent together in childhood. I remember the times we spent with my dad (Uncle Mick) on his tow truck. Or the times in Madden Street eating hot bread that you had brought back from working at Home Pride and many other times at Madden Street, Morwell.

You loved to be of help and were often found out with others trying to be of help. I could not tell you of how many people have told me that they know you through your volunteering.

You have left me with many funny and memorable moments.

Condolences to Brett, Terri-Ann, Kristy-Lee and families. Aunty Sheila and Jeanette would be so grateful and happy that you had the support from Kristy-Lee since Jeanette’s very sad passing.

Thoughts go out to Peter’s family. I knew him as a young umpire when I first umpired a Morwell game. He was without a doubt one of the best football people I have met in my time , so organised and efficient. Then meeting again while working at the Morwell club we had many laughs. The funniest time being when he entered the building one Saturday morning in a balaclava. I stopped him and we proceeded to wrestle on the floor when he said to me “get off me you idiot its Peter”.

Another family reunited . Farewell Pete .dice

Fabulous memories of our childhood holidays spent playing in the pine trees and down at the beach in Paynseville and the six of us kids piling into the one car the mighty Morris Minor Rest in peace God Bless Michael Galway & Family

RIP Pete. I am already missing your daily phone calls. You will never be forgotten. Thanks for all the chats and laughs.
