In Memoriam
SWALE, Peter Swale:
Peter Swale of Makarewa.

Suddenly and unexpectedly at the end of day.
Much loved husband of Patricia, and father to Sonja and Jeffrey. Hard-case, loyal brother to Brian, Ian, Barbara and Michael. Very well-liked workmate of literally scores of men. The Otago Goldfields Cavalcade will not be quite the same with his passing.
It is difficult to believe a year has passed.
We remember and miss you.
