As well as being a prolific walk leader of all grades, life member Peter started the Footprints newsletter in 1990 and was the creator and webmaster for the PDWC website since 2007. For nine years he co-hosted with Stephen Watson the annual 'Grand Night Out' event for the club, utilising his computer skills to create the popular slide show and all the related graphics for the event.
He was the beloved husband of Lesley, much loved dad to Matthew, James and Caroline, cherished granddad to Katelyn, James and Adam, brother in law to Paul. He will be sadly missed by all his family and friends.
