Peter was asset within the Needham Market community. I first met him when I started to help at the Luncheon Club. He always said my Gravy was the best!! Bless him. We often would meet on the bus going into Ipswich. The last time was a couple of weeks before Christmas. Rest in Peace Peter. Xx

Peter was a lovely man who always had time to chat, known by many around the area and drove most of us village kids to school via Bus in the 1980's. Always willing to help anyone. He was liked by everyone that knew him and will be missed.
