Peter KELLY Obituary

Arohanui Marilyn and family. Peter was my maths teacher at Massey in 1973 and I remember having the courage as to ask a question in a large lecture theatre . May your family memories help sustain you in the days ahead

Maryanne Mechen & Dion Martin ..... and Rebekah, Seamus, Anna, Tommy, Kate & Tessa send all the aroha we can possibly find to the Kelly whanau as we recall our wonderful collective memories of life at St James & St Peters Schools, and St Pats Parish ...... where the Kelly family were such a vital part of all our lives ...... along with the key leadership of Peter who was such a good and wise person to be involved with. We treasure these special memories. Thinking of you all on Friday 9 August as you lay your very much loved Peter to rest. In great solidarity we salute you all

As an old Te Kauwhata class-mate of Peter's in honour of happy memories of those days long ago I want to share the positive memories I have of Peter, his sisters and parents who were instrumental in integrating our family into country village life and learning. RIP.

Marilyn and family, my most sincere sympathy to you all. You were always a most hospitable host, a great head of the family who were all so kind during our difficult early years in P Nth
Arohanui, he will be missed.

To Daniel, Mandy and all the family. Sad to to read this news. I know you will all miss Peter. He was a man who always had time to tslk with people. We had some interesting conversations washing up the eucharistic dishes after 6pm Mass when we were both eucharistic ministers .

Anne and I are most sorry to learn of Peter´s passing. We are mindful of the greatly valued friendship that our families shared in the earlier years at Massey University. Peter was a thoughtful colleague, generous of time and spirit, giving his best in his teaching and support of students. His pleasant, amiable nature and gentle humour were appreciated. Our deepest sympathy and love to you, Marilyn, and your family. We are thinking of you.

We remember his gentleness, kindness and humility. I was privileged to be a colleague over many years and he and Marilyn became good friends. He is a Christian and I know he is in a better place now. But we are richer for all we did together, and send heartfelt condolences to Marilyn and family. Elizabeth (Lil) and Graeme Wake

Thinking of you all as you farewell your much loved husband, father and grandfather. Kia Kaha.
Arohanui from all of my whanau.
