The obituary notice of Peter Joseph BENSON

Although we're devastated by your loss, I know how priviliged i was to have had you in my life. Thank you for being the best Dad, & role model of a human, anyone could wish for. 🥰
Not only were you an intelligent man & a talented master craftsman, but you were a true gentleman. Placid, kind, patient, loving & fun (All attributes you needed to put up with us!). A quiet, serious man who could deliver the best deadpan one liners, with a glint in your eye and cheeky grin (although your smile was ofter hidden under your moustache). Always willing to do anything we asked of you (within reason) to make us happy, & for our amusement. You gave the best hugs & I always sought & respected your option, even if it differed from mine.
Thank you for all things you taught us, the wisdom you passed on, your unwavering support and the unconditional love you gave us all. And for all of the amazing memories we have to cherish. 🥰
Part of the person I am, is down to the impression you left on me.
You leave a massive unfillible hole in our lives & we miss you more than words can say. But your love will always be with us & you will live on forever in our hearts & souls.
Rest in Peace 🕊

Peter, who has been much admired and loved over the years for his calm and loving nature and for his wonderful achievements in Boat building, Clock making and repairing will be deeply missed by his brother John and family, his sisters Pat and Sue and their families.

You were simply the best husband, dad and human being. A true gentleman. We will miss you forever. Until we meet again darling. 🕊🦋❤️
