I am shocked and saddened to hear of Peter's passing. He was way too young. He was a great guy and a good mentor. I will always have many fond memories of our travels together around the world. Thanks for everything buddy. May you rest in peace.

Peter was such a great person. He helped everyone around with tales of past success and failure and was always willing to go out of his way for someone in need. Peter, I learned so much from you in business and in personal life and always admired most the joy you took in your family. May you rest in peace my friend. Thoughts go to your family in this time of grief but I know they will get some comfort to know that you are watching over them from afar.

Just heard the bad news, it has been a while seeing Peter, but I never forget our time in Canada to discuss aseptic and the tetra business during a nice meal and lots of laughter. Peter was unique and I learned from his experience and knowledge. A good friend has left us too early. Rest in peace my friend.

Farewell ol' Pedro. We will all miss you terribly. You left us far too soon. Over the past 24 years you have taught us so much, how to live life, your positive outlook on everything. You gave us so much, we will cherish all those wonderful memories. May you now rest in peace with Cathy. We will be here for the family and look out for them always. Love Sharmaine, Steve, Alicia and Sam Hare xx
