The obituary notice of Peter Ralph BURCH

We first met Peter and Vanessa at the Nerja Players, when first on holiday in Spain. He and Vanessa welcomed us warmly to the group, and as we spent more time in Nerja, over many years, our friendship grew, and we enjoyed trips out and Sunday lunches together along the coast. During the winter, we often attended evening balls together; dancing being another enjoyment of Peter's. Peter also visited us in our home in France several times, and we will always remember his irrepressible energy and sense of adventure and fun. Peter's love of the theatre shone brightly through, whether he was centre stage or working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure each production ran smoothly. We send our sincere condolences to all Peter's family and friends. He leaves timeless memories. Sending love, Rob and Karen Cleary

In 1976 who would have guessed that 50 years later we would still be friends. After all, you and Vanessa were my first theatre landlord and landlady in Derby - for just 5 days! However, from trying to force-feed me real ale, there was something about you, that compelled me to stay in touch. Not only that, but to welcome you & Vanessa on many occasions to stay at my home and me at yours in Nerja, latterly meeting the lovely Sandra.
Your uniqueness will remain with me and our lives will not be the same without you. Xx

In memory of a dear friend of 50 years. Rest in Peace, Peter

I have such fond memories of dear Peter from when we were in our early twenties to a few years ago when he and Sandra came to visit. Always lots of laughter and happy times. A very dear friend. With love, Sue Cornford
