Peter SPEEDY Obituary

Dear Sue and Family
You are in our thoughts often wondering how you are all doing. We also remember Pete with great fondness and talk about him often really miss him calling in and brightening up my day or talking to him on the phone he would immediately lift my mood for the day his enthusiasm and outlook were both infectious.
Pete you must have your wings by now Fly High and Free.

I have been sorting old photos of St College Silverstream and of the Army, many of which feature Pete. He was my best friend since school, in the Army, and after. I still feel his loss as I know Sue and kids do. He will always be in our thoughts.

We are so sorry to hear your news, we never seemed to catch up over the years but through our boys your family has always been part of our family. Grief is so very hard but know you I am sure have such special memories of Peter, and take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

To Sue and the Speedy family, well it was tragic news to learn of Pete's passing. Only on the Tuesday of that week, Tony Sellars, Murray Tocker, Pat Nganeko and myself had a catch up and Peters name was right at the for front of our conversation's and memories of the times we all spent together as team mates St Patrick's College Silverstream 72-73 first fifteen. The fun times(high jinks) traveling to and from school by train, the endless hours of rugby training, games and countless gatherings in either the Fosters, Guppy or Coles garages will never be forgotten. Pete was a talent un matched by others but more so a especial person and friend that touched us all. Was fantastic to catch up at the College 75th Jubilee which just seems like yesterday. Have just returned from 9 days in Twizel and was a pleasure to spend a quiet moment thinking of Peter and you all as we passed through Tekapo.

Sue, Belinda, Matt and Ben. So shocked and sad to hear of Pete's passing. Many happy memories of the times when our boys were growing up together (the two Bens). Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Love. Karen and Brian Hadley and family.

Pete was one of my best friends at school. After forty years apart, I found and rang him a year or two ago and we chatted away as if nothing had happened. He was an inspiration to all at school for his twinkling love of life and his indomitable nature. My best to all his family in their grief. He will be sadly missed. Far too young.

Sue, Belinda, Matt & Ben - it was always a pleasure being in Pete's company. He always had a big smile on his face and told some outrageous jokes/anecdotes. He is going to leave a big hole in your lives, but I am sure you have some fantastic memories to help you through. Much love to you and all the Speedy families.

Sue and family our thoughts are with you all in your time of sorrow. Pete will be sadly missed by all those who knew him. He was such a bright light in the lives of those around him and will continue to shine in our eyes. Just seeing Pete and his twinkly eyes would brighten your day. Pete your memory will live on forever as one of the few who truly shined in their lifetime.
