Last night I cam across some e-mails Peter and myself had swapped when I started looking for a new machine. His offer to help was both a genuine and well meant.
I wondered why Pete had been quiet and had thought to email or call.

I like many find myself saddened at the news.

Condolonces to his family and friends

I also shared e-mail with peter, and he very kindly gave me good advice on choosing my machine.

Very sad news indeed, best wishes to his family.

That’s very sad news; though I only met him a few times, a true gentleman. My heart goes out to his family.

God bless Peter,

My love and good wishes to his friends and family xx

Puts arguing about m/s, portable or t/m into perspective!

Peace..............

I only met Peter once at the open day at Woodbridge’s but like many here I have shared many e-mails with him alone with telephone conversations.
He will be sadly missed by many here on the board, my thought are with his family.
God bless you Peter.

I was very sorry to hear this news.

My deepest condolences go to his family, a very sad loss.

For those of you who may not recognise the name, peter posted under the name of " carpetclean" , with a picture of his van on his profile.

In the 12 months from Jan 2006 to Jan 2007 Peter made a total of 803 postings on this site. He was always helpful and full of advise and enthusiasm for the carpet cleaning industry.   

rest in peace peter.

regards

Chris

I never did meet Peter but I spoke to him many times on the telephone when I purchased some equipment from him.

My deepest sympathy goes to his Family

[Adam Young]

Hi all,

Peter helped me out with advice and equipment since I started Techniclean.He was a great man and a great friend to me, although, I never met him face to face Pete was an absolute inspiration to me and a inspiration to this forum. As a painter and decorator Pete had the foresight to understand this industry and did the job to the max first time every time.

God love his Family and Pete is sadly missed,

From Adam.

Haven't been on here for a while, can't believe what I'm reading. Pete was a lovely guy, VERY enthusiastic about his work. Salt of the earth. Heart of gold. He doesn't live that far from me. Anyone know what happened?
