Thanks for that: any other memories would mean a lot to the family, so if you have any, or want to send me some Ow Mowsy (Believe It Or Don’t) fanmail use rosyrockets@gmail.com

Peter was a great man. He was a friend of the family and even as a kid, he treated me like an adult.
My mother worked with him on the Peninsula Voice and I even managed to source a story for him once (not as glamorous as it sounds).
He was a kind, straight talking (even if he did turn the air blue) chap who’s dedication to bringing the truth of the world to his readers was so admirable. The amount of litigation he suffered in his quest for truth nearly cost him his house on more than one occasion, but he generally remained unswayed by the attempts to stifle his voice.
His death was a great loss to the community as well as our family.

Peter was my uncle. He died of lung cancer. He didn’t realise he had it until he went in for unrelated hospital tests. I had only just heard he had about a year to live when he died, and I’m gutted that I never went down to visit in time to see him. He was always trying to wind me up with that mean-old-shit, Rochester kind of affection that I love. It’s hard to find these days – damn feminists.

I knew Peter since way back when, we shared birth dates, news of his death came today in the post. Do you know what he died of? The note I received just said “after a short illness.”
There aren’t enough reporters like Pete these days.
I’d like to see the report Pa refers to, if you have the time to send it – please?
Still reeling from the shock.

I’d never written anything like that, whilst feeling genuinely sad rather than bored angsty, and it was making me bite my fist. But I feel better for knowing you didn’t bite yours.

What happened to the stuff you had in here before you put in the Cornishman obit? It was good.
