Lieve Denise,
Wij werden overrompeld door het plotseling overlijden van Peter.
Wij denken met goede herinneringen aan hem terug.
Wij wensen jou en jullie kinderen en kleinkinderen heel veel sterkte om dit verlies re dragen.
Veel liefs,
José en Francis
As we knew Peter from the bustling, busy, hectic and a totally chaotic days in Alice Springs with Peter in charge of a daily coach company and ourselves with a small Cultural Exchange operating 7 days, we got to know Peter and Denise and your girls Lillian and Ingrid by somehow managing to fit in a rare social get together now and again which was always fun and joyful with our 3 children Tristan, Sheena and Pirrenee in tow.
We have wonderful memories of you all and especially when you last visited us at our property in SA to catch up on the previous 20 or so years since leaving NT.
It was just yourself and Peter possibly 5 or 6 years ago maybe and we had hoped to visit you in Portarlington.
Today, tomorrow and the weeks and months ahead will not be easy to adjust to life without having Peter in it.
He was a true gentleman and loving husband and father to be sure.
We are with you in spirit dear Denise.
You have your beautiful girls and grandchildren around you who no doubt help you to heal in time.
We will meet up again down the track and hope to share some more good memories of past times and new.
Much Love to you all… Rod and Debbie Steinert

Dear Denise, Lillian, Ingrid and family.
I am so sorry and upset to hear about the passing of Peter, such a wonderful, kind person.
I am grateful to have known him and honoured to call him a friend, as was Robin.
May you all find comfort in the memories and love you shared, as well as the loving thoughts sent to you all at this very sad time.
Rest in peace Peter xxx
Dear Denise, Lillian, Ingrid and family
I wish you all the strength to carry this loss.
I cherish the time I spent with you all those years ago and your visits to Holland more recently.
Lots of love from Barend Broersen
Dear Denise and family,

He was a beautiful person to have known him.
Lots of strength in the coming time.

Dear Denise and family,
Our sincere condolences on the sudden death of Peter
We are old friends from high school Amsterdam
and then on holiday to Italy on the scooter!
Our son Jan-Willem found his place of rest on his tour in Australia
with you and was there at the wedding of Ingrid & Shane
Fortunately, you made a nice trip in Europe last year
Traveling together with Denise was Peter’s great passion, even after retirement
Your visits to us in Amsterdam will forever remain a pleasant memory
We wish much strength to Denise and the family,
Jan, Anna and Jan-Willem

Beste Denise en familie,
Onze oprechte deelneming met het zo plotseling overlijden van Peter
Wij zijn oude vrienden van de middelbare schooltijd Amersfoort=>Amsterdam
en dan op vakantie naar Italië op de scooter!
Onze zoon Jan-Willem vond op zijn rondreis in Australië zijn verblijfs uitrustpunt
bij jullie en was daar bij de bruiloft van Ingrid & Shane
Gelukkig hebben jullie vorig jaar nog een mooie reis gemaakt in Europa
Reizen samen met Denise was Peter zijn grote passie, ook na pensionering
Jullie bezoeken aan ons in Amsterdam blijven voor altijd een fijne herinnering
Veel sterkte toegewenst voor Denise en de familie,
Jan, Anna en Jan-Willem

Dear Family,
We are very sorry to hear that Peter passed away.
We cherish our nice memories of his stay with Denise at Barend’s house in the Netherlands two years ago.
We wish you a lot of strength in this difficult time.
Yours sincerely,
Klaes and Naomi
I’m very grateful I was able to meet you Peter.
Even though the time I knew you for wasn’t the biggest amount of time, the impact you managed to give me and my choices will carry on through me for the rest of my life.
You and Denise are one of the most whole hearted people I’ve ever met and still are.
I hope you enjoy your travels around the world for the rest of your afterlife I’m sure you will.
Love from Sean.
Dear Denise and family,
Our sincere condolences on the death of Peter.
We wish you much strength.

We were very sorry to hear of Peter’s passing. We knew Peter through our children. He was always kind and friendly, and we enjoyed his visits to our home during the Christmas holidays when Georgie and Nico were home.
He always appreciated a Greek coffee and biscuit and shared a warm conversation.
Our thoughts are with Denise and the family at this sad time.
We’ve known Peter for nearly 30 years.
He wasn’t just a friend. He was like a Dutch uncle, especially to Nico. He gave Nico the chance to speak Dutch, share memories of Holland, and feel a connection to his roots.
We shared many Dutch meals with Peter and Denise over the years, and we celebrated Sinterklaas together when our children were young.
Those moments meant a lot to us.
Their visit to us in Mackay, with the caravan, was something we’ll never forget. It was a special time, especially because Nico’s family was visiting from Texel, NL.
Peter always had a story to tell about places he’d been, people he’d met, or things he’d learned. He made us want to travel more and look at the world with fresh eyes.
When we look back, Peter was there for so many of life’s important moments for us.
We will miss you dearly, Peter.
Our love and deepest condolences to Denise and the family.
Peter has gone from your sight, but never from your hearts: a wonderful husband, father and grandfather.
To know Peter was an honour.
A life well lived.
You will be greatly missed.
