Condolences to you and the whole family Kay. I will stream in via the link on Thursday so will be there in viewing and in spirit.

A great man, mate, father and husband I will miss the times we spent together, sincerest condolences to Kay and all the family he will be missed. R.I.P Smacka

The Latrobe Regional Hospital Board of Directors and Executive extend their condolences to Kay and family.
Peter made a significant contribution to patient care as a member of the former LRH Foundation. Both Peter and Kay have continued this generosity and interest in fundraising for our hospital so our community has access to the best equipment possible.
Our thanks to Peter, whose community spirit should serve as an inspiration to the next generation of Gippslanders.

So sad to hear of the tragic loss of a great contributor in support of those less fortunate in our community. As a team, Peter and Kay made such a difference to so many. Their family involvement with RJJST & P over many years was greatly appreciated. Our many years of Apex involvement and continued yearly weeks away together will be fondly remembered. Go Cats.
