I'm deeply saddened by the loss of my oldest and dearest friend, Peter. We were boys together growing up in South Manchester and he brought a lot of joy in my life during those often troubling teen-age years. His courage, sense of humour and positive attitude, evident even then, blessed me in so many ways. Those attributes he took with him through life, becoming a wonderful husband and father, and, i'm certain, making his loss all the more difficult for his family to bear. My thoughts are with you all. God Bless you, Peter, me old chum.
