:) Happy Birthday Pete

[Pippa-Stef]

Sorry to hear that Pete.

Many Happy returns however!

Thanks for all the good wishes.

I must say say though that the funeral was a celebration of a dear friend,who although he endured very serious illness for many many years was one of the most cheerful,upbeat positive people I have ever known.
His whole life was full of good cheer and adventure....

Some of the stories recounted, like the one when the brakes failed on his wheelchair and he sailed down a hill backwards similar to the one in the old Hovis adverts eventually coming to land gracefully in a retired ladies garden of prize daffodils was like something from a Norman Wisdom film and had the congregation in stitches!

After having spent most of today at the funeral of a dear family friend it was lovely to receive such nice sentiments here!

God bless Pete and my sympathys are with you ((( hugs)))

(Is that a YouTube clip you're trying to post, Maureen, or an image? If it's the former, you don't need the IMG tags.)

Hi Anita I was trying to copy an anmiated gif for Pete and some just wouldnt work properly, thankyou for the advice.

Sorry to hear about your friend's sad demise but glad you had happy memories and stories to reminice
about. Rather worried about you saying that you are not so nimble in your mid forties - where does
that leave me? Enjoy your youthful years!

Sorry to hear about your friend, Pete. He sounds as though he was an inspiring person, and reading about the wheelchair incident made me chuckle.

I posted at more or less the same time as you earlier, didn't check the page when it refreshed and have only just read your post, so I wasn't being deliberately insensitive when I was wishing you an enjoyable day!

Happy Birthday, Pete! Sorry you had a depressing day, but I hope the year ahead will be a wonderful one!

[Ming]

Belated birthday wishes, Pete!

[Lucky Star]

And belated best wishes from me too Pete. My condolences on the loss of your friend also.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend, Pete, but pleased to hear that you have happy memories of him.

Dear Spitfire, Maureen1954, Anita, Roc, Dick, Pippa-Stef, Francis, 70s-child, Ming, Lucky Star, and last but by certainly no means least Eddie! I would very much like to thank you all personally so much for all your very kind thoughts and comments.
They are all very much appreciated.

Thank You

Pete

[Moonraker]

Yes, may I add my sympathies to you as well Pete. It sounds as if your friend lived life to the full, and made the most of his ailments. I had to smile at the thought of him crash-landing into a daffodil bed!

[Anita Bensoussane]

Happy Birthday, Pete! Enjoy your day - I hope you have some lovely treats.

[Spitfire]
