Condolence from N J Fledderus on December 3rd, 2022 5:20 PM

Sincere condolences with the passing of Pete. My memories of Pate ( as we knew him ) go back many years to the time he boarded with my family. As children we loved him and considered him family. He had this set up in his bedroom so that he could make recordings on records. He made a record of my sister, brothers and I and our parents that we could send to our grandparents in Holland.
After he moved away from Brighton he visited a few times and then we lost touch.
A number of years ago, my husband and I attended a wedding in Exeter and Pate was there as well. It was great to see him and catch up on our lives.
We were sorry to hear of his passing and pray that you feel Gods presence and peace at this time and in the days ahead.
Nelly Fledderus nee Draaistra
