NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted November 16, 2016 Report Share Posted November 16, 2016 Wendy a Big thank you for taking the time to keep us informed particularly at such an awful time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks for your lovely post, Wendy. It's good to learn that Pete had a really good send off, one that you described so well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted November 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks for replying to us Wendy. It has really upset me. When we were at Grammar School together we were more like brothers. We didn't always see eye to eye, but we had some amazing escapades. I would happily go back and do it all again He is with the Dad that he adored. May they rest in peace. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted November 17, 2016 Report Share Posted November 17, 2016 A lot here wouldn't know the side of Pete who would go the extra mile to help others. A true gentleman in every sense who will be sorely missed on here & everywhere else he was known. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scriv 168 Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 I don't look in here very often these days but would like to add my condolences. Firbeck and I were politically diametrically opposed but shared interests in the military, trains and cricket would almost certainly have overcome that had we ever met in person. RIP. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilbraborn 1,594 Posted January 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 Thanks for that. I've had a very busy couple of months at work doing 12 hour shifts catering for the elderly at a care home in Dronfield. Hopefully things will calm down a bit now that they are recruiting for the jobs I am covering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
