In loving memory of Peter Howe who sadly passed away on 9th July 2023
My husbands life was full of love, joy, fun and laughter. He had a good life, enjoyed life and embraced it till the end. He was a very good, generous and loving husband who always puts his loved ones in the Center of his life. He was a good son who loved his parents Wesley and Betty and cared and looked after them till the end. He was very helpful when it comes to my sister Merlinda especially if she had hospital appointments as he would always push her wheelchair as I couldn’t lift it out from the car or even push her. He never fails to ring his daughter Loretta asking how her day was and always gets an update on the grandchildren be it Abigail, Scott, Michael or Robert.
He enjoyed playing outdoor bowls and belonged to Belfairs Bowls Club for the longest time and was honoured to be president and captain several years until he can no longer play. His life at the time centred on bowls, then arsenal then me third. I would joke about this but he always says, I’m wrong, I am number one all the time so he says. He also was a member of South Essex Koi Club which we both enjoyed having a koi pond ourselves at the time.
Peter was friendly and had many friends, and was always chatty. We would go out and he would recognise people and have a chat, at one point I said, you would make a good councillor as you never stop talking.
He loved his holidays, we travelled a lot from the Far East, Australia, the Mediterranean but he loved going back with me to visit my family back in Manila. He gets so pampered by my mother and gets everything he needs . My brother Jess and his son JM would take turns in driving him around from morning till night wherever he wants to go. My sister Maryann cooks all his favourite food, my brother in law Bob, takes him to his favourite pub/restaurant because there is a day where Elvis rocks the night. and the audiences get to sing. I know he wants to get up and sing but to embarrass. He was welcomed by a group of elite men in the Philippines who were lawyers, managers of banks, a brigadier on an American ship but when they sit on the table with their beers and tapas they are all equal . We were booked to fly December and was looking forward to seeing them again.
I am sad, lonely and I and my stepdaughter together with our grandchildren and friends will miss him so much. He was loved and we will always hold him dear in our hearts and the numerous photos and videos will keep me going till I meet him again. I won’t say goodbye my darling but I hope to see you and hold you again on the other side

It was very sad to learn of Peter's demise.
I have known Peter for over 60 years. We go back to Hollyfield School and 2nd Tolworth Scouts.
He was a very good friend and one of my longest continuing friends. Since Peter moved to Leigh on Sea with Maria contact has mostly been by telephone discussing Arsenal reminiscing. At one time we regularly went to Arsenal together.
In those days Peter worked as a fishmonger.
Later he joined the fire service.
We shared many a pint over the years and visited music venues, speedway and ice hockey.
It was good Peter found happiness with Maria and they have shared many good years together.
He will be much missed, however with many good memories will be forever remembered.

Thank you Tina, although you have only heard his voice on the phone thanking you or just to say Hi. He did say you were very good and looked after my welfare. Thank you for all your support and phone calls to check if I’m ok. I truly appreciate you so much.

Hi Mick, thank you both. That is absolutely fine. No worries. I am taking it slowly and taking charge of everything now and I think he would be proud of me as he was worried about leaving me. But he is no longer in pain and I will be with him at some point. I miss him terribly

Oh Mad, I adore this picture. Peter loves you to bits and Teddie. Nothing will change and we will still meet up for lunch. I’m flying to be with my family that evening on the day of the funeral. Mom wants me to come home for a week to recuperate but we will meet up together with your mom when I’m back and settled

Thank you Raffy, he was planning to go back to Manila this December, we even have our tickets already.

Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay, a golden heart stopped beating, God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes “the best”. It’s sad you had to go, your leaving caused such pain but you were so very special. We will never forget you, and I know we have been blessed to have you because you were the best. EARTH’S LOSS IS HEAVEN’S GAiN.
