A sad loss to his family and friends a huge loss to Redfearns.
Pete although not a well man was trying to live his life to
the full.
As he told me a couple of weeks ago that when I go it
wont be sat about. I don't want to regret the things
I havn't done.What a wonderfull out look on life.
Pete was allways helpfull and when not helping out at
the club was usualy to be found in his shed tinkering.
Or more often than not making some gadget or other
for someone at the club.I have one of his side wheels
different to the norm but it does the job.Once again he
will be sadly missed.

Never knew the guy but he sounded like a good bloke-my condolences to the family and those that knew him...
I can't believe it, Pete was only about 56.
Always helping out at the club, sharing his knowledge, do owt for you would Pete.
Spent many an afternoon wittering away with him up at the club about this and that.
Rest in peace mate.

We got to know him at the Worlds where he was Marshalling and he was a great help to us.
One of lifes gentlemen.

As posted above, the sport has lost a Gentleman.

To say he wasn't very well you would never had known it; his attitude to life was quite inspirational.

I found out today the news of Pete.
It knocked me for 6!
When myself and a friend joined Redfearns a year ago, Pete was on hand from the start.
He spent a good few hours helping us zero our scopes and shimming the mounts.
Giving us pointers on our shooting or telling us a great tale and having a laugh.
He was a true old fasioned gentleman, eager to help anyone with the biggest heart of gold i have ever known in a man of such ill health.
He had such passion for the sport.
As someone said his attitude to life was inspirational
He will be sadly missed
R.I.P. Pete

LIFE IS NOT COMPLICATED........
SOCIETY JUST MAKES IT THAT WAY!!!!
I never knew Pete but by reading these posts he was well admired and will be sadly missed.
R.I.P Pete from a fellow airgunner.
I was a new member at Redfearns this year and was having trouble setting up my scope and
without asking for any help, this old gent called Pete could see I was struggling. Very quickly my scope was taken off and then he shimmed up the mounts with bits and pieces of brass from his magic tool box and I was set up.
A sad loss to Redfearns and to our sport.
My condolences to family and friends.
R.I.P. Pete
