Popular Post Davenpete Posted May 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Peter, ex-Twisted Wheel, Torch, Mecca and Wigan Casino (member 0267) etc originally from Radcliffe passed away very suddenly (from what is thought to be a pulmonary embolism) aged 67 on Saturday 23 May evening at home as I combed his hair after a shower. He was someone who was there in the background at every key turning point of the scene, but was always self-effacing and careful to avoid the limelight. We hadn't been out for some years because Pete's health issues had made him more or less housebound, but he remained loved by so many who knew him and he kept in touch with as much as he was able. He retained a deep love of soul, and especially Motown, of which he had an almost unrivalled knowledge, all his life. After almost 30 years I don't know how I can ever go on without him, he was my saviour and the only one I lived for - I was so lucky to be loved by him. You struggled so very much with your health that it broke my heart every day - my only I wish is that I could have taken on all your pain - there's no more suffering now my perfect, beautiful, wonderful Peter.

Popular Post Ficklefingers Posted May 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) I don't believe we have ever met Dave, but my heartfelt condolences go out to you in this very difficult time. And I hope and pray that those around you will help give you the strength to come to terms with the situation, and keep you strong.. as I'm certain that is what Pete will be saying as he looks down on you, and until the time comes when you can be reunited for eternity Unfortunately no amount of words will come close to relieving the agony you must be going through, but my thoughts and prayers, and those of the entire Soul Music Fraternity, are with you my Soul friend..

Dave Carne My beautiful friend Pete who I first met way back in 1973. He was my rock and was always there for me as a young 17 year old. Over the years we lost touch then in the 90s at Cala Gran we Met up again, we chatted for hours it was like we had never lost touch. A few years went by yet again. Then we were at a very good friend Jaqui Bicknells house celebrating her 50th birthday and who was there in the kitchen Pete and Dave who I met for the first time and right away Dave I loved you as I did Pete. I am absolutely heart for you. Two beautiful Souls together. Hold onto your previous memories Dave as I will. I know it’s going to be hard. I am always here for you Dave has I know lots of friends will be. RIP Pete gone but you will never be forgotten. Going to miss you my beautiful friend. God bless and much love Janet and Derek xxx 3 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Popular Post Davenpete Posted May 30, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 30, 2020 Listening now to Richard's Pendulum show - so appropriate that he's commemorating Pete on a week he's playing sounds from one of Pete's absolute favourite clubs and spinning many of his all-time favourites as 7.30pm approaches - exactly a week since I lost him.
