  3. Our sincere sympathy to Jeron, Rohanna, Ryland, Khalen, Julie and all the families.

    Peter was a true knockabout sort of Aussie bloke. Fun, friendly, hard working, and fiercely proud of his extended family.

    Fond memories of cricket games at Jennings St at Christmas time.

    Resting peacefully now, free of MND, with his dearly departed loved ones.
