And don’t forget to mention the pranks you two got up too in the early hours. You were a couple of crazies sometimes. Lol. Ever the michief maker was Peter. Great memories of those days in Franz Josef.
A true gentleman with a dry sense of humour, Remember him well from his days at Rentons.
Very fond memories of taking my grandchildren to visit Peter when they were younger. Mostly it was at their request as they enjoyed the visits so much. In later years we had computers in common and always the love of all things Dutch even though I’m a Kiwi. Peter often gave me a Dutch present at Christmas which was delightful and I treasure them. You are a great loss to so many Peter, but we’ll meet again in glory.
A friend will be sadly missed may you hop on to any aircraft wing and glide you to wherever you want to go. R I P MY FRIEND.

Mijn lieve “oompie” ….geen kaarten en brieven meer, niet meer elke 14 dagen skypen, niet meer samen lachen om je grappen.
Máár….Dank voor de mooie herinneringen die je mij gegeven hebt.
Ik ga je missen!

Yep…remember out walks up hills in Franz Josef? Even the dog found them tiring.
Fond memories of Peter at Franz THC…RIP Lyndsay & the Green family send condolences to your family
Peter was mijn ‘Oompie’ zoals hij zichzelf noemde. Altijd up-to-date met wat er in wereld gebeurde en wat er met Ajax gebeurde. Zo’n ontzettend lieve man. We hopen dat hij nu rust heeft en blijven hem als ‘oompie’ herinneren. Liefs, Meindert en Ellen
Peter always went the extra mile to be helpful. He brought his sense of humour into all situations.
A real gentleman and a loyal friend.

Until that resurrection day mate..
Peter en ik leerden elkaar kennen omstreeks 1954 bij de haven van Huizen, waar we beiden woonden.
k denk met liefde, vriendschap en genegenheid aan hem – ik zal z’n e-mails missen.. Baukje Sijl
