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

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.

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.

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

Just so sad to hear this news, A truly wonderful man, an amazing bridge organiser ( especially the overseas Congresses) & a passionate Gooner , like myself, THANK you for everything RIP

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.

I really liked and respected Peter

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.

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.
When you returned to bridge about 30 years ago, we shared many a happy practice evening with you as you quickly developed a great talent and love for the game, whether playing, teaching or organising events. We don't know how you managed it. And you brought your typically intelligent, thoughtful and lightly humorous touch to the fore in your contribution as a Governor of Lord Bills.
You were always smiling, cheerful and optimistic, even in adversity, and we will always remember you with love and affection (in spite of your support for Arsenal, the wrong North London football club)

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.

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.

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

I am sorry to hear that Peter has died. I will remember him for his ever efficient and calm work ethic in the office, but especially I remember some very happy times working with Peter in Brighton. Thank you for all you did, Peter. May he Rest in Peace.

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.

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.
