I am shocked, it’s been 48 years, but I’m shocked.
RIP Peter

Dear Paige,
Our deepest condolences,
( sorry, we were out of Australia and have just become aware of your Dads passing otherwise we too would have been present ).
Pete was a Gentleman, an advocate , fighter for Justice. He led us through a lengthy strike against the Kennett Govt in 1996, ( Child Protection Strike as our Union CPSU Rep – one of the last significant strikes within the Public Sector ) and forged respect and friendship over that period that will never be forgotten. I remember that you ( as a little girl ) would sometimes accompany your Dad to meetings with us ).
This coming Saturday, the Ballarat co leaders of that Strike will be toasting a collective glass in memory of your dear Dad.
Our deepest condolences.
Vale Pete.

Hi Paige, I have just read that your Dad has passed away. So very sorry to hear this. You will miss him terribly I’m sure. As I have said before, he was so very kind to us at such a difficult time. I will never forget him or his kindnesses. To succumb to such a dreadful disease seems so cruel. Wishing you peace and strength. Julie Deckert
Dearest Paige,
I am so sorry to hear about your dad Peter. He was with me from the start and I will be forever grateful for his calm advice and support of me. I am in Canberra but otherwise would have come to the funeral. My sincerest condolences and please know he was well thought of by all in the local ALP and Creswick community. One of life’s kindest souls.
