Paul Gourlay says
To all of Peters family and extended family,
Joanne. My memories of Peter revolve around your parents home. I miss those days greatly. More than anyone could understand. It’s people such as your family that keep good memories alive for me. I’ve thrown some hay bails with him before across the road and I remember the stories that were told sitting around afterwards by all. His life obviously impacted many, even those who knew very little about him. That’s what really matters. I can’t imagine how much he will be missed by everyone.
