Peter was my colleague through three changes of office. I miss him and dearly wish there could have been many more years. I will always remember his "Can I pick your brains?" about some obscure point of style which invariably ended in hilarity, however serious the subject. His constant good humour invigorated the most tedious shift. It was a privilege to have spent a little time with him and Sheila at home. I send her and Thomas my deepest condolences.
Journalist, screenwriter, playwright and (sickeningly) good at crosswords. A father and a husband to be proud of. Your comments on life linger. We won't forget you, Peter.
Peter will be much missed. Sincere condolences to his family.
Peter was a good friend and a loyal colleague. His dedication and humour will be sorely missed
Thinking of you. With all our love from Marilyn and Pete.
So sorry to hear of Peter's passing. He was a great guy to work with.
Remembering Peter - a lovely man with a wonderful sense of humour . You will be much missed by all your friends at The Dacre Arms .
Peter - You were wonderful to work with at The Times, that dry wit and good humour in adversity made the shifts almost enjoyable! So sorry that I can't be there for your farewell but rest assured, your life made others happy. Jayne
Sending love to you both, Sheila and Tom and remembering Peter xx
from Ian Houghton and all Peter's colleagues on the subbing team of The Sunday Times
Peter will be much missed. Neighbour, friend, drinking buddy and dispenser of common sense and dry humour. RIP.
Very sad news
Cheers Zo.
Always enjoyed and valued working with Peter on The Times - and there was always a smile on his face.
Dear Peter - I was so pleased to know you - you were a smashing chap xxxx
My dear brother-in-law, we are missing you very much and will continue to do so. So many happy memories and will miss your wonderful sense of humour. Rest in Peace. Peter.
