Peter Killick (29 Sep 1941 - 25 Apr 2015)

Read by James for his Father.
Dad standing at the mirror getting ready to go out,putting on his jewelery,his shirt and shoes.
Combing his hair, looking sharp,like a razor blade .
I would ask him, "Dad where you going, he would always reply," Going to see a man about a dog J.
Can I come? Not this time J.In the morning I expected to find another dog in the house.

Dad getting me to help with building stuff.This was always a major adventure when I was a kid.
I of course would be labourer, Mum was on teas and biscuits. I would be in charge of passing all the tools when needed. Asking questions, Whats that for Dad ? Why's that then Dad? He would then explain......
But one thing I could never work out, how Dad could smoke the fag in his mouth the whole time, and ash would never fall off whilst doing all this !!!!!

Dad would come home from work,empty the cloth bag on to the table, takings from a days cabbing.
Dad would get me to count it up with him, saying, "Stack it in £10 lines J, and whatever is left over is your pocket money" Sometimes I would miss count!!!!!!

Holidays in Cornwall were always an adventure when I was a kid.
Last minute packing,where Dad would be always asking Mum where everything of his was,cos he could never find it.
Then there was having to leave double early in the morning all Hush! Hush! like.
Then when on the road, Mum would always tell Dad to Slow Down your driving too fast,
Dad would reply," Dee I have to accelerate to go up a hill"
Cornwall was a place where my Father was always relaxed, he just loved being there.
One of his pleasures was dining out,he always insisted that he bought everyone at the table dinner.
My Father loved to take care of people, he would lean over and say "J,have what you want"

I am very proud to have been raised by an old school Bermondsey Gentleman.
With hard hands and a Gentle Heart.
You Rest Now, Rest Now.
God Bless x

So sorry to hear this sad news, although we only met a few times, we heard many tales from Auntie Lil,
( Lillian New ) sleep tight x

Your kindness continues beyond your return to glory.

Ziggie and I miss you Peter. I did not interact with you much, but when you met me you always had a nice smile and a warm hello. I could see the kindness in you and I am so glad I had an opportunity to meet you.
You are the lucky one, you have gone to a better place. rest in peace. To Nadine, take heart, Peter's spirit will always be with you, I could see you loved each other very much. This love will keep you strong. Remember I am only a few doors away.

You were such a caring man, Peter. I remember how supportive you were when Bill and I married and moved into our house. You were always there for us.
What a laugh we all had round the card table at Edna's, even if we could hardly breathe for the smoke!
You were a lovely man who will be truly missed.
Rest in peace.
Lyn and family x

In loving memory of Pete

Barbara, Nicola, Scott & Kelly

Dear Peter,

Whilst I didn't know you as well as many others did, I was so pleased to hear how delighted you were that Andrew had managed to fulfill one of your last wishes of taking you and the family back to your beloved Cornwall.

Rest in peace,
Antonietta

Dear Peter
Remembering a lovely man who was so kind and caring. Happy days in the Killick house with lots of laughter. Lots of cheating at the card table and always lots of noise. Our trips to hop picking at Marden and you sitting at the camp fire telling scary stories. Remembering the first time i met Dee and then James and seeing how happy you were and continued to be happy and loved.
You will be truly missed by so many. God bless you Peter and rest in peace. Love and kisses xxxx

Dear Peter
Its amazing what memories comes back to you when loose a close family member, too many to mention but here are a few;
The time I got in to trouble in Farnborough, you sat me down and had serious words with me!
The time you came to Carter Street to try and get me out!
The times you and I were the last to leave home for hop picking as you had to work late.
Christmas at our house and you throwing all that money up in the air!!
Birthdays, we all knew we would have a visit from yourself!
Late night family card sessions.....and you wasn't a good looser!
Peter most of all remembering how you ALWAYS looked after mum..... how could we ever possibly forget you!
You were a true gentleman to the end. You were a good friend, a great uncle and most of all a great family man.
God bless you Peter xxxx

Dear Father,

I am so grateful that I got to know your truth in your humanity.

The ‘I’, through which you see me, is the same ‘I’, through which I see you.
The ‘I’, through which we see God, is the same ‘I’, through which God sees us.

Namaste,
Your son, Andrew

O Birther! Father-Mother of the Cosmos, focus your light within us—make it useful. Create your reign of unity now; your one desire acts with ours, as in all light, so in all forms. Grant what we need each day in bread and insight. Loose the cords of mistakes binding us, as we release the strand we hold of others’ guilt. Don’t let surface things delude us, but free us from what holds us back. From you is born all ruling will, the power and the life to do, the song that beautifies all; from age to age it renews. Amen

Dear uncle peter this message would go on&on&on&on.....If I was to list all the Great times you gave me & my family so R.I.P. until we meet again! Love always nephew Barry xxxxx
