I just read on the Windblowers page that Pete had passed away. I am so sorry to hear this news as he was always so helpful and knowledgeable every time I visited the shop! A true gentleman. Louise Waters

Today I learnt that Pete had passed away and I was gutted by the news!! I first met Pete in February 2018 when I travelled from London to Nottingham to purchase my new Miyazawa Flute. I had called Windblowers and spoken to Pete and he had arranged a practice room for me to try several make Flutes. In the end , I settled for the Miyazawa. Pete was very helpful,and came across as a people's person who had lovely customer service qualities . I saw him last year January, when I returned to have my Flute serviced, and again Pete was able to do it in one day as I had to travel back to London the same day. He was very accommodative and was willing to help me at the earliest possible time to service my Flute. I will always remember him and how much he contributed to making this world a better place! I will miss him! My heart felt condolence to his family and the staff at Windblowers.RIP Marie Garrison

I've just learnt of Peter's death via the Windblowers website and am shocked and saddened. Sincere condolences to all his family, friends and colleagues; my heart goes out to those bereaved by this awful news.

So saddened to hear that Pete has passed away, I send my condolences to Sue and the family and would like to say how much I enjoyed knowing him briefly as a customer at Windblowers. He was always so friendly, helpful and positive and his passing is a great loss. Rob and Isaac Stutchbury

Afterglow’ (Anon) I’d like the memory of me to be a happy one. I’d like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done. I’d like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, Of happy times and laughing times and bright and sunny days. I’d like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun; Of happy memories that I leave when life is done. ❤️❤️ Xx

So many good memories of times following 'The Boys' at athletics over the years, and St Agnes Fountain at Rainworth.

Pete you will be missed by so many people. Truly one of life’s good guys. You look back on your childhood and so many memories of the Athletics Club have Pete at the centre of them. Smiling, laughing and joking, yet absolute dedication and commitment to the cause. Always had a gentle word of encouragement, and a positive outlook whatever the result. Also had some incredible camera angles that I never quite worked out how he managed to get. I’m sure I am just one of hundreds who will have been both influenced and inspired by Pete. A true legend.

Good night dear friend; and flutes and oboes sing thee to thy rest.... and maybe the odd saxophone! xxxx

It was always a pleasure to be in Pete’s company. He liked fun, laughter and conversation and his warmth made everyone feel at ease. He was genuine and loved his family devotedly. Always with a smile, always with a welcome, Pete made the world a better place.We shall really miss him. Darryl and Jo Hillgrove

Pete, to think that you're not with us now is very difficult to grasp. We hadn't met in quite a while but the fond memories and brotherly times will always be with me. Sleep well old friend, Nick X

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Peter. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
