Tribute to Peter Ibbotson 7/12/23.
The many occasions we met up with Pete was at family gatherings and it was evident right from the start that he was a man who tremendously enjoyed being with his family. He was a good husband, father and grandfather. He and his beloved wife Pat shared with us the joy of seeing Simon our son and Sarah their daughter, getting married. Later along came Peter our mutual grandson followed by his younger brother George, eight years later. We will always remember Pete revelling in the times he spent playing with Peter and George. It was nothing to find him down on the floor with them engrossed in their activities, getting as much pleasure from their games as the boys did themselves.
Also, until his retirement Pete had had a very successful career at Watson Marlow. Before the cruel illness that plagued him in his final years. He had lived life to the full, spending holidays abroad with Pat and family. A good example of a life well lived is how we remember him.
