To the Family,
It is with great sadness to hear of Peter’s passing.
We came to know Peter in the turbulent years fighting apartheid.
Peter was a gifted writer with great respect and love for his family and social justice. All his family are a reflection of his wonderful qualities.
We are all the better for knowing Peter.
Love to you all,
Jill, Bernie and Dan O’Brien (Christchurch) and Steve (Canada).
