OC President Bob Jennings writes:

"Peter started at Colston's School at the age of 11 in 1959 and was a contemporary of John Perry.

On leaving school Peter was a very committed OC and enjoyed playing rugby and cricket with the OC Rugby and Cricket Clubs. He also played golf with the Old Colstonian Golf Society. Peter especially enjoyed touring with the OC sports clubs.

Peter lived in Westbury-on-Trym, Bristol, then moved to Cristow in Devon, and then to Winscombe in Somerset. He coached rugby and was chairman of Winscombe Rugby Club.

Latterly he loved sailing, fishing, playing skittles and touring in their Campervan. In recent years Peter has enjoyed attending OC Seniors' events. He leaves his wife Avril and their son Christopher and his family. A great O.C. and a true friend. Thanks for the memories. R.I.P. "
