Matt Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Sadly i have to report my Dad (Peter on here) passed away on the 15 March. As some of you know he has been ill for a while- he went down hill since Christmas and passed away in hospital with his closest family and freinds with him. There will be a service in Eddington and I'll post more details once they are finalised. I'd also like to thank all the members who made him feel so welcome on the Alderney trips they really were a highlight of his last year's and everyone who he took out on redfin he really enjoyed helping others catch a few Quote
Kingfisher 126 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 So sorry to hear that Matt, we had a great time in Alderney even though he was struggling at the time. Thoughts are with you and your family Matt at this sad time. RIP Peter. Quote
Ark Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Very sad news Matt Are thoughts are with you and your family R I P Peter Quote
Rob Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Sorry to hear this Matt. We had some fun times. I will always remember you two snagging the landing net for each other on feathers (not on purpose of course) when we hit that wreck with a load of bass up high in the water in the way back from a good Alderney adventure. Shame I never made it on to Redfin to fish, we got as close as a car full of kit, load of ice and a a dry up watching the wind. Condolences to you Matt and the rest of your family. Rob Quote
Stuie Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Sincere condolences Matt to you and your family. Quote

plaicemat Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 So sorry to hear this news, Matt. I remember your Dad and you following Martin and I through the Swinge and we went airborne and your Jenneau just floated across everything. And our day off Portland when between us we caught, I think, 54 cod. Brilliant! My sincere condolences and don't be a stranger. Quote
great white Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 So Sorry to hear this very sad news Matt, I hope that you and your Family are able to remember the happy times as you grieve for Peter. We have some great memories from our trips to Alderney together. I am sure you and Dad discussed the trip back in 2011 many times, when you showed the bigger boats the way. And the day that you taught us the way to fish for the flatties, catching three times as many as we did [32 was it?] between just you and Dad. Deepest condolences my friend. If you need a trip out in the future, even if its just to clear your head, please get in touch 07887 794716 Charlie Quote
Bramble banker Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Sorry to hear this Matt, A real shocker and sad news. Really have had some great days out on the Redfin with you guys and I will miss the fishing information and experience your dad was more than willing to share with all aboard not to mention his professionalism and seamanship regarding the crews safety. We had some fun and some real red letter days. Condolences to you and your family. As previously stated I am more than willing to have you out with me if you wanted to get to sea just sms me. G Quote
Newboy Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Condolences to the family. R.I.P to Peter. Quote
Jim Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 Hi Matt, I never met you or your Dad but I know you are both well liked in the club. I was probably about your age when my Dad died ( long time ago now ) You'll learn with time not to dwell on the sadness but to remember the good stuff ( and a little cry every now and again always helps ) I wish you well for the future.
