Peter John Edley (19 Jul 1963 - 18 Aug 2020)

Only just found out about Peter's passing - we were very close friends while we both worked at Streets Accountants, but lost touch over the years. Will have a pint in your memory Old Mate

For 46 years we learnt together,grew up together,played sport together,drank together ,Rocked together.
sadly in the words of his favourite football team we are no longer "marching on together"

All at Read School were so saddened to hear of the news of Peter's illness and then his brief but valiant battle with cancer. Peter made many contributions during his brief time here and we so appreciated his calm unflappability and kindness. The wonderful service today with the musical choices of Rammstein reminded me of many conversations with Peter about rock music and how delightfully incongruous for a diligent accountant to be so passionate about his hard work. The tributes today spoke volumes about this lovely man. His choice of music reminds us to live life to the full and to pack in every Rammstein concert possible! Much love from all of us, Peter x

I am deeply saddened. I worked with Peter for several years at The Retreat, what a thoroughly nice man. My deepest sympathy goes out to his family. God bless Peter xx

It was great to meet up with Pete, decades after first going to school with him. Everyone who attended the Kings school reunions enjoyed sharing the memories we all have of those fun years. We also incidentally knocked back more than one or two beers in the pubs we used to frequent (not until we were of age, obviously. Pete will be much missed, our thoughts are with his family.

Went to school with Pete and he was always one of the group that I hung out with. Reconnected after a bit of a gap thanks to the Grantham boys reunion and what a great bloke to share a few beers with and prop up the bar at 2 in the morning. Lots of good memories and he will be missed.

So sad to see this untimely news. Pete was a good mate at and after school. We drank beer together, watched football, drank beer, played cricket, drank beer. Conversation and time spent with Pete was always time well spent.

He will be missed

I didn’t know Pete, I heard a lot about him though through Lauren who I worked with / my friend. When I think about all the times Lauren spoke about or mentioned Pete it was always with such love, care, affection and humour. They seemed to be two peas in a pod who had found their soul mate in each other. This world is so cruel at times and Pete shouldn’t have been taken from Lauren and his family and friends so soon. It makes no sense, it’s so unfair. My sincere condolences to all that knew Pete...sending love and hugs to you Lauren x

Peter was my assistant for 10 years at The Retreat and was not only highly competent in his work but simply as nice a man as I have ever met. Never a bad word for anyone and always positive. He was my go to when I needed a chat with a friend at work. He scored Lauren and was really proud of son Sam. He is greatly missed and I consider it a privilege to have known him. Always pulled his leg about how fussy he was about gelling his hair! He’ll be in a great place now for sure - till we meet again

Pete. Great memories growing up in our teenage years was really good to see you and catch up last year as it had been over 20 years. Rest in Peace Mate x

The world has lost one of the nicest kindest gentlemen. We shall miss you at the pub, always greeted with a smile and a hug. Our love goes out to Lauren and families and of course not forgetting Turner xx

Pete , I only knew you for a period of time that seems like a lifetime ago now but your company was always good.
I still have your signature on my passport as you was the only professional I knew to sign my application!
Your dedication to Lauren is an example to all men.
I dearly wish I wasn't writing this message.
Thoughts are with the family tonight and for the the coming days

What can I say? I’m gutted to hear Pete’s gone. I was at school with him and remained good mates in our 20s - we went to each other’s first weddings. We’d got in touch again recently and he joined our King’s School reunion in the past couple of years. What a big hearted man, what lovely company, and boy, he liked his beer. If we could all smile half as much as Pete, the world would be a better place. Rest in peace my friend. Your old class mates are gonna miss you.

A massive gap in our old boys reunions. Love and thoughts with you Lauren and family.
All of our group will miss him greatly. A proper gentleman.

Great bloke allways happy and a very clever person loved going up to vist Pete and Lauren Pete loved his sports and was a devoted husband and father will be sadly missed by us all , rest in peace Pete love from all the Hotchin’s

My love & hugs to Lauren & Sam. Your loss is beyond belief. Peter was a fantastic person & a great boss!! Always there to listen to you & so supportive. With his great sense of humour and continuous encouragement he certainly made it easier to manage the working day. We were the best Finance Team ever. Sweet dreams Peter I will truly miss you xxx

Such a nice, laid back and generous man and an amazing husband to my sister. Thankyou for making her so happy Pete. You'll be missed by her and so many others. Glad your free from pain now.. fly high. You'll always be remembered xxx

Avnt the words to say how we both feel ..pete was such a massive part of our family.we loved him very much ..Pete loved our daughter so much and treated her like a princess ..A true gentleman who will always be loved and rememembered xxx

Pete was one of the most laid back, relaxed and intelligent men I’ve ever had the privilege to meet. Nothing was ever a problem for him.
We’ve had some great times including when he and Lauren let us move in with them for a short period.
My heart goes out to Lauren and Sam.
I hope you have found peace Pete we will miss you, forever in our hearts

An absolute gent,loving husband and father and it was a true pleasure to call him my friend who I spent many a drunken night with mostly talking about his beloved Leeds United,he will be sorely missed by all that new him.

Pete, you were a great brother, always there when I needed you. We had lots of fun as children and teenagers, including camping on New year's eve in the snow and many other adventures on our family holidays. I will miss you and send my love to Lauren who you found such happiness with. Now you are with mum, dad and grandparents. Sleep well my dear brother xx
