Happy heavenly birthday, P-Willy. You never did like your birthday being acknowledged. The last five months have gone so fast but slow at the same time. I still think about you everyday and I see your little signs. It´s taken a while for me to work out why you leaving has hit so hard and I´ve realised a few things. In an ever changing world, you were a constant, you genuinely cared for me and when you left, you took the person I was when we were together, with you. You´ll never be forgotten, I´ll forever be grateful for our friendship. Rest easy, my friend x

Aww, I am so sad to hear about Peter and even more sad that I missed the chance to say goodbye. Superior Motors is where we went to always get the best service, advice and cheery smile from Peter and his crew. You will be sorely missed Peter. Rest in peace and hugs to the family.

Rest easy Uncle Pete!! Thank you for everything you did for me. You gave me a job while I was at school/uni down at superior, you taught me how to drive a manual car (even if I didn´t want to learn..) you always made time to check my car for me when I said it was making random noises (even if there wasn´t anything wrong) you taught me a lot about life and I´ll be forever grateful I got to spend the time with you that I did. Wherever you are I hope you´re having a well deserved break.. buddy..buddy..Take it easy

Peter what can I say? you were snatched away as we became best of friends. I will always miss our morning coffee, catch up and daily fill gossip. Like for so many people you were my rock! And I will miss having you to turn to for anything I needed help or advise with. So great to see how many people truly did love you and I'm proud to be one of them! We will do our best to keep your Legacy and be there for the huge superior family you created. RIP Pete look forward to having a coffee with you up there and hearing the stories of mischief you have been up to.

Pete, I'm still trying to comprehend that you've left us so suddenly!

As his finance broker, I had the privilege of sharing countless hours on the phone with him each week, where his wit and humor shone brightly. Pete had a unique ability to lighten any conversation with his quick jokes and infectious laughter, making even the most mundane tasks a joy. His charismatic personality and genuine kindness endeared him to all who crossed his path. Peter's legacy of laughter and warmth will forever live on in our memories.

Rest in peace Pete. I'm so lucky to have called you my friend. You will be deeply missed.

Willy Wilson has been a family friend for over 55years. Growing up in the hood together, Gill Street and Octavius Place. Many great memories growing up as teenagers, Willy was a lad from then to now. We are all shocked.
Taken away far too young. RIP Willy
