Peter Whitbread (2 Jul 1938 - 27 Jan 2020)

In life you meet few people that are good and kind, Peter was one of them. With his advice he often tried to straighten my rather obscure thoughts, I already miss this and him. He was my very best Pal . A silence of the heart , whose silence loves and longs, The silence of the heart which sang its songs. While youth and beauty made a summer morn. Silence of love that cannot sing again . I will always remember your loving name. Until we meet again.

What can I say? Like many others, I’ll miss my Dad and losing him has left a big hole in our family. Unfortunately I won’t be at the funeral, but have, at last, taken a piece of advice from him to: “Stay in New Zealand”
It was great that he, and Mum, were able to visit us in New Zealand where he helped me in building a large deck on our first house here, and I have fond memories of our successful fishing trip, bringing home snapper for tea.
He will always be in our thoughts,
With love from Simon, Carole, Jess and Conor.
