I'm sorry to report that the forum has lost another member. Peter passed away at 12:15 today. He had gone downhill since DaveG and I visited the other week and was readmitted to the hospice at the weekend. His daughter was with him at the end. It's a sad loss as he was a thoroughly nice man, one I was proud to call a friend. I will post details of his funeral as and when.

A sad day.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Peter a couple of times at TINGS, but a warmer and more friendly man you could not hope to meet.

The hobby and the world has lost a real gentlemen.

My sincere condolences to his family.

Thank you for passing on the news, Malc. Going by Peter's last few posts, I guess many of us have been expecting this for some time.

I never had the pleasure of meeting him, but I wish I had. I always made a point of reading his posts as they were invariably interesting and often included questions that nobody else thought of. I always had the feeling that, if I had known him, I would have liked him immensely.

I am sure his family will be making a collection in his memory. I for one would like to contribute. Would it be possible for the forum to set up a fund that we can pay into, so that we can make one, hopefully large and generous donation?

In the meantime, please pass on my condolences to his family.

I only met Peter twice at TINGS but I PMd him a few times so I considered him a friend I Am sad that he has passed away and as Papyrus said I too would like to contribute a small amount if the Forum decides to start a fund ,and if Malc could pass on my condolences to his family I would be  greatfull.

He was a good man.

I had the pleasure of meeting Peter at TINGS in 2015. A thoroughly nice man. We will all miss him and his entertaining posts. My condolences to his family.

I don't mind admitting to shedding a few tears at this unhappy news, especially as Peter was so kind in messaging me several times after my recent heart operation and made light of his own fatal illness :'(
I will never forget the rather large gentleman in khaki shorts, glasses, large hat and brown brogues who shook my hand vigorously at TINGS a couple of years ago
My sincere condolences to Susan and the rest of Peter's family & friends.

R.I.P Good Sir

I'm sad at the news of our friend's passing.

He was a star here on the forum and I had the huge pleasure and privilege of getting to know him over the past few months.

We shall miss him.

Re donations
It's a bit awkward at the moment as Susan is obviously upset. Although we have been expecting this for some time, it still comes as a shock. She is going to let me know about the funeral arrangements and I'll bring it up then.

Should a donation be a little difficult to administer, perhaps we could consider a 'PCF NGF' award of some sort?

Very sad news 
I never got to meet him in person but had a few conversations with him on here.
He will be missed 

Stu.

Amen to all the above. By the bye, what are the first three of  'PCF NGF' . john.

Such sad news. I didn't know Peter but he was such a gentleman.
Condolences to the family.
