Peter 'Pete' Terence Ballinger (6 Nov 1955 - 3 Apr 2022)

With deepest condolences from the team at Finlays.

True gentleman and great person professionally abd as a friend

I've known Pete for over 25 years since we at Finlays started working with Eniti and the 'Petes'and how lucky we were. Always professional, helpful, funny and always helped you out of any situation you were in. We will miss your happy smile and it's indeed a shame you left this world far too early. We will always remember you with fondness.

On behalf of and with love from your friends at Monmouth Coffee

R.I.P Peter a true gentleman. And a pleasure to have Known.

It is with deep sadness to hear of of the sad passing of Peter ballinger, or as he was know to me Pete B, in the years dealing with Pete at Eniti I found him to be more than willing to go out of his way to be of assistance in the delivery and collection of Tea's many times at very short notice.
It was my intention to attend the funeral and participate in celebrating the life of Pete but unfortunately I am unable to be there. So I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincere condolences to Jacki and family.
R.I.P Peter

Forever in our thoughts.

Rest in eternal peace.

A true gentlemen, a pleasure to deal with for many many years RIP Peter , sadly I can not attend the funeral but my thoughts are with the family at this difficult time

We have worked with Pete since the 2 Petes started eniti over 20 years ago. We helped each other through good times and tough and we always managed to have a laugh about things. Pete was hardworking, cramming in far more than one could ever imagine in a day's work. I was so happy when he and Jackie bought their place in France hoping he would get some well deserved down time. I last spoke to him before xmas - I am so happy I made that call. Thanks Pete for everything...

I have never seen him personally but I have dealt with him on phone very often due to the nature of the business that I had with him for the last 20 odd years. He was absolutely a gentleman. He was a person who always went out to help me whenever I needed help and advice. He was always polite and put others first. It is very rare to see this type of personality in this day and age. I know it will be a tremendous loss for his friends and family. While I share the grievances with his family, I pray to God for his angelic soul to rest in peace.

Peter was a true gentleman that took the time to get to know his customers, those of us that relied upon his recall skills to know exactly where he had placed each and every one of the thousadns of bags of coffee. How he did this still remains a mystery. He personally helped me in our 1st year of trading, from advice about shipping to logistics. We'd often chat for an hour about many subjects that were no coffee related. A personal man, trustworth and honest, a real gem. He will be missed by many in the coffee business and beyond.

Pete will be fondly remembered. His vision and hard work opened up new potential for a whole sector of the coffee industry - a sector which makes a positive difference to thousands of coffee farmers around the world every day. He leaves behind him a legacy in our industry which will resound for generations. Our thoughts are with his family. from all the team at Olam Specialty Coffee
