Peter PHILLPOTTS Obituary

Thinking of you Peter, keep walking and telling jokes.

Dear Glen and Sue,
All my love to you and your families on this sad day.
I have many many fond memories of Peter, a man who had humour and common sense ... a really good man.
My time spent with him and Margaret, and my friend Glen were, and still are some of my best memories.
With all my love,
Eric Nienhuis

So sorry for your loss. I have lots of very fond and happy memories spending time with your family, when we were young.

Dear Sue and Family, sorry for your loss. It was an honour to have known Peter and to have been blessed with his vibrancy and good humour. He will be sorely missed. Love Badger, Skye & Family. Xxx

It is with sadness that the Marlins Golf Club acknowledges the passing of our much admired and respected Life Member - Peter Phillpotts.
The club thanks you for your dedication as a member for 30+ years and your contribution as a committee member for 20+ years and your outstanding service as Club President for 13 Years.
Current and former members of the club send their heartfelt condolences to Susan, Glen and family.

Sorry to hear about Peter's passing. Peter was a huge mentor and encourager of a long list of athletes who he introduced to race walking, who then went on to become national champions. He was also co-founder of the Auckland Race Walking Assn & put a lot of time into developing walkers in that association, and was a great clubmate of mine at Onehunga Harrier Club. While he was also a walker and placed 3rd in the Auckland Champs 30km in 1984, his best athletic talents were as a sprinter/hurdler, and he was 4th in the 400m hurdles at the World Masters champs in 1981. Peter had a hilarious sense of humour, and on weekend trips away would keep the rest of us in laughs the entire weekend. He will be sadly missed. Condolences to Susan and Glen. RIP Peter, I can never thank you enough for your encouragement and support in my early days in the sport. Thanks for the memories

Very sorry to learn of Peter's passing. A very good friend of my dad's in the Reidrubber days. He was a man who had a wicked sense of humour. The special settee he made for me when I was a child is still being loved by someone else.

May he Rest In Peace.

PHILLPOTTS, Peter. To my family and friends: Have you ever stopped to think, how when you're going to die They wrap you up in a big white shirt, They put you in the ground and they cover you with dirt The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out They come in thin and they go out stout They bring their friends and their friends friends too And OH what a hell of a mess they make of you!!!! Love Peter P.
