BASSETT, Peter John. 25 February 1962 to 28 August 2010. Taken from us far too soon. There are no words that can describe the heartache and pain that we are feeling at this extremely sad time. Tania, our daughter and Pete, were the ultimate couple who have the most awesome children. They had planned to live out their lives together, loving and watching our five grandchildren marry and have families themselves, but this was not meant to be. Pete, we will always be there to love, comfort and support Tania, Kurt, Blake, Freddie, Charlie and Scarlett. We know we will not be able to 'fill your shoes and we would not want to, or even try'. The most generous and caring son-in-law that any parents could have. We will always love you and miss you forever. Sleep peacefully Pete. Love Sheryl and Rick. Hugs and Kisses. xoxo
