What a great holiday we had with Peter and Barbara In 2009 - We went skiing in a large "family" group - as it seemed like we were all one family. Lots of laughs, food, wine and skiing. A lovely man.

Gill publicó un comentario Peter, thank you for introducing me to bridge, especially in this lock-down period. You were always a real gentleman and it was an honour to be able to visit you in Meadowcroft. You always were interested in what was going on outside and never complained about your situation. You will be missed

Jo & Stu Horne publicó un comentario We go through life meeting lots of people but only a few will make a lasting impression and; Peter did just that. We shall cherish the memories and be better for having him touch our lives. Thank you Peter.

Martin And Krzysia Gossage publicó un comentario Peter was just brilliant! Keeping his sense of humour in spite of all his vicissitudes was quite an achievement. The last time we saw him was on his birthday shortly before lockdown. It was a jolly occasion - presents and flowers and raspberries had arrived, Peter was tucking in, meanwhile typically getting all the quiz answers before anyone else and there was a lot of laughter, much of it caused by Peter’s dry interjections. We are privileged to have had him for a friend.

Bob And Christine publicó un comentario Peter, we were privileged to have you as a friend. All those theatre trips you organised, and the parties you and Babara gave in your Towersey home. Always enquiring, smiling, humourous and forever youthful

Robert Procter publicó un comentario Peter was a wonderful promoter of bridge in his community and throughout Oxfordshire. With Barbara by his side, he made a huge contribution to making cafe bridge a regular feature in Oxfordshire's bridge calendar. Visiting him at Meadowcroft I found we had many other common interests from crosswords to politics and from quizzes to sport. Very sad that he never made it back into the community - he certainly never gave up hope.

Jenny publicó un comentario I cannot do Peter justice in a few words here. He was so loved and respected by the bridge players who crossed his path. For me his humour and friendship will be irreplaceable. Barbara and Peter were the perfect host and hostess on overseas congresses - always there to meet you when you arrived. He will be part of folklore in the EBU. Thanks for knowing you Peter.

Barry Capal publicó un comentario I worked with Peter for around ten years, during which he was unfailingly smiling and happy to do whatever was needed. We supported very different North London football teams, but we never had anything but a sensible conversation about that too!

Peter, it has been a great privilege to know you (and Barbara) since we first moved to Thame 35 years ago. You were a lovely family man who, like us, had 3 sons. We had a lot of things in common: going to the opera, theatre trips and Sonning Mill, enjoying good food and wine, and eating with friends.

Chris And Alison publicó un comentario Peter and Barbara were the first friends we made when we arrived in Thame more than forty years ago and it was always a pleasure to spend time with him. We always enjoyed his tales of the ups and downs of shop life and some of his more challenging customers; always amusing but never malicious. We shall miss that smile of his.

Sally Bugden publicó un comentario Peter was calm, organised, efficient and incredibly charming. I will never forget his unfailing support during my chairmanship and his ability to help sort out even the most difficult of problems. He was a truly kind person and will be sorely missed by all of us who had the honour to work with him.

Shirley Goldwin publicó un comentario We were incredibly lucky get to know Peter and Barbara through bridge, and particularly the EBU Overseas Congresses. Always charming, efficient, kind, amusing, a terrific organiser and an all round lovely person. He really did make a difference to the lives of the people he met. We were so glad to have been able to visit him and exchange bridge gossip. Shirley and Brian

Gaye And Oliver Norman publicó un comentario Peter, the great, ever cheerful, youthful, witty, and a dear friend with always a smile. We first knew Peter and Barbara in the early 80’s when Ben and Olivia went to Betsy Bettoni’s nursery. Later Parties with Sally and Tim and the ‘Darfish’ quiz night!!! Then the girls will never forget the experiences of working at the famous Jordans delicatessen counter. Oliver and I enjoyed many happy parties, opera’s, plays, and holidaying in France in the caravan.Then the trip to the Monet Gardens to stay with Michael and Mary and their orchard and sheep dipping! Peter always the life and soul of the party and we cherish all the good times with great affection.

Michael Clark publicó un comentario Very sad to have lost a wonderful colleague and a great friend. He made me feel very welcome when I moved to Aylesbury and got me playing bridge at Thame. Then later on he was a key member of our quiz team at the Hop Pole. Rest in peace, Peter.

Bridge Overseas publicó un comentario We are all so sad to hear about Peter. He will be sorely missed and not just in the bridge world. My son Connor and I were very fortunate to enjoy time, and the odd glass of wine, with Peter and Barbara, two of the nicest people I have had the pleasure to meet. Everyone at Bridge Overseas offers our thoughts and condolences to Barbara and Peters friends and family.

Ele Jeffery publicó un comentario My first memories of Peter were in the 1980's when my late parents had moved near Thame and originating from Slovakia, Jordan's stocked many of the continental products they loved! Peter was always so lovely with them. It was only later that I came across him Bridge wise and more recently formed a friendship with Barbara and Peter enjoying some bridge sessions at Meadcroft during Peter's last months. He was always in good humour, totally uncomplaining enjoying the Bridge sessions and eating any goodies I happened to take along!! Peter will be sorely missed RIP love Ele xx

So thank you Peter and Barbara. From Maggie and Ian

Ian and I also have lots of happy memories of times spent with Peter and Barbara. Especially all those New Years eves when Peter organised theatre trips followed by dinner and maybe a quiz for a large group of his friends. We also remember a wonderful holiday in France spent with Peter and Barbara plus the whole Lawrence clan. Great fun with great friends. Peter always had a very positive attitude to life and was a kind and generous man. We will miss you Peter
