Love of my life

i have been trying to find info on Peter for ages. I know he was on friends reunited a few years ago. I met Pete when he was a DJ at The Boathouse at Kew in 1971 I was 15 and he was 21. I thought he was gorgeous, but at the time he was mad about a girl calle Jackie Davidson who later moved to Scotland. I think at the time a few people thought I was too young, 6 years is nothing. I remember meeting his mum and brother who were living in Shirley at the time. Im really sad to hear this news, would be grateful if somebody could fill me in with some info.He always use to call me Jaffajuice. His friend at the time was a man called Denny. Did Peter ever marry. Brokenhearted, Joanne.

Chairman of the Board

I've been meaning to write this for weeks...

Peter and I were mates from the late 60's and early 70's - he had long hair then! We worked for the same DJ agency in Streatham, London and often met up - either at one of the discos or pubs we worked at (aerodrome hotel, croydon to name but one!) or usually in London for the Radio One Club at the Paris Studios near Regent Street. After the show (and getting our dj venues mentioned by the radio one dj at the time), we'd go off round the record companies, blagging promo copies of new releases and trying to get onto mailing lists!

Peter would always buy american imports and one day, we were walking around soho and carnaby street, looking in record shops, and Peter had been raving about a new record he'd bought a few weeks before by Chairmen of the Board called 'give me just a little more time'...I bought a copy that day and played it at all my venues until the intro became so crackly from the continuous cue-ing (american imports weren't as robust as uk singles). Luckily it was released in the uk soon after and i could play the uk copy!

Now, whenever they play Chairmen of the Board on the radio, I think of Peter...

He was a friend and he's often in my thoughts - even when they don't play Chairmen of the Board!

ALWAYS MAGIC TO ME

Some days it seems like yesterday. Others its like a lifetime ago. Six years today since we lost a remarkable friend and gifted broadcaster. But on the radio in my mind I listen to you every day. I hear your voice - those deep textrous tones - your humour - those near the knuckle jokes - and whenever I pass Marks and Spencer I see you at the checkout with your purchases and provisions! You will always been in our hearts and ears - and without you the magic on magic just isnt magical anymore. Remembering all the love Debbie and her kids gave to you and although I dont see much of them these days they too are always in my heart. Love ya Peetsie - keep spinning those heavenly hits!! Love always from Porky, Lesley, Lil and Will xxxx

always in my heart peter.You will never be forgotton as long we are still around. x

6 years today cannot believe it.

six years today i cannot beleive it,time goes by so fast. two weeks ago peter i married trevor, remember trevor? you always told me to marry him and be with him as you thought he was a good man. I just want you to know that i may have married trevor and i am very happy and content,more than i have been for a lot of years,but you will always be so very special to me and always be in my thoughts.I hope that you have come accross my dear friend jean who died in march, you 2 will have such a good time,she was a very special person to me, just as you were and i miss her so much. As i became older i started to appreciate the things in life that before i took for granted,material things do not matter to me anymore, maybe thats because i am just glad to be alive, me losing so many people i love recently as made me think that way.As long as my children are happy and healthy, and my family, i will be happy,anything else that comes along you are in control of. I know peter that you are with me i have felt that since the day you died ,and i know there has been times over the years where you have carried me when i have been at my lowest.thank you for that peter. all my love to you debbie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Think & miss you everyday especially today
love your poppet of delight
Carly

Too late!

I DJ'ed with Peter in the late 70's when we both worked the same Surrey clubs. He had a very distinctive voice and always wore a velvet jacket lol. Pete and I used to go off chasing the girls while Dale Winton was happy to spin the records. We all lost touch as we became more involved with our careers and families. I made an effort to try and contact all the 'old guys' some month's ago and was upset to hear about peter. R.I.P Pete.

YOU WERE HIS REAL FAMILY

Dear Debbie, James, Carly & Thomas - your tributes to Peter on here are wonderful. I want you to know just how much you meant to him - and the fact you were not just his LEEDS family - you WERE his family. His so called relations showed none of the love and care you all provided for him over the years but in particular when he needed it. And where were they when he really needed them?? YOU were always there - and it was often tough-but you stuck with him - to the end. I pray the Lord Bless you all for all you did for him. He would be SO proud of James, Carly & Thomas and I'm sure he's around watching over them. My thanks ALWAYS to you - his FAMILY for taking care of him.

You will never be forgotten

Peter will always be there no matter what, he will never be forgotten. He shined so much love into our family and he thought of us so much, going back to what my mum said he always wanted to do the best for all of us and he would take us to the most amazing theatre shows which were just so cool to go and see at a young age.
He would also like to come and collect us from school on an afternoon and we go to the park with the dog (Poppy) and he'd get her really excited and she be all hyper for the rest of the night.lol.
He really is missed in so many ways.
