At home on 22nd January 2026, Pete, aged 88 years, passed peacefully with family by his side. A devoted and much-loved husband to Sandra, a loving Father, dear Father-in-law, a cherished Grandad, a treasured Great-Grandad, a dear Brother to Anne and a much-loved relative and friend to many.
Born in Accrington, Pete worked various roles before ending his working career running his own garage, enjoying working on the cars that came through his door. Pete had a love for cars, especially American models with the Lincoln Continental being his favourite. In his spare time he enjoyed watching Formula 1, reading, teaching and researching new subjects, especially history, and would find joy in passing along his knowledge to others. It was often a running joke that Pete was the man who always had the heating on, was King of the remote and had more tools than Screwfix!
Above all else, Pete was a devoted family man. He adored his children, and he took great joy in hearing about the lives and adventures of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A kind and generous man he would always put his family first and worked hard to provide for them.
He will be sadly missed but remembered with love, always.
Family flowers only please, with donations being recieved on behalf of Cancer Research UK.
