I met Peter at the dialysis ward at SOGH when I would go there as a clown (Crackers). We quickly formed a friendship. Peter's sense of humour was a joy-often making the clown laugh. We shared many stories about Scotland & other things, he spoke often of his sons and grandchildren. I always looked forward to seeing him on the days I would be at the hospital or visiting him at the PCH. I will miss him. My deepest condolences to the family. - Posted by: Judy Whitaker (Clown at SOGH (Friend)) on: Feb 06, 2014
