On behalf of my family I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has supported us through the shock and tragic loss of my dear brother Peter.Your texts, phone calls, cards, meals, flowers and kindness to us during this unbelievably heartbreaking time is very much appreciated. We have heard time and time again from family, childhood friends , friends that he talked to every day, Peter's tax clients and so many other people about the kind, caring , loving and genuine man Peter was to everyone he came in contact with.To me, he was my brother who I loved and shared my life with. As Kate so eloquently stated, Peter was the 7th member of our family and always will be.I know that Mum and Dad would have welcomed the unfortunate early arrival of their much loved son with open arms.As would have my Buba and Dedo, aunties and uncles.Peter, my dear brother, rest in perfect peace knowing that you lived life as a good, kind, caring and genuine man.You left the world a better place my brother.I will miss you for the rest of my life and will treasure your beautiful smile, your laughter, your kindness and your wonderful ability to enjoy life to the full.Love you Peter . xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

To my darling Elizabeth, Michael, Kan, Lisie, Katie, Stevie Boy and families. How I wish I didnt have to write this. I am so incredibly devastated to hear of beautiful Peters passing. It just doesnt seem real. I have the best memories with time spent with Peter and you all and I will treasure those memories forever. He was the kindest, sweetest man and always had a smile on his face when he saw you. Peter couldnt have asked for a more loving and adoring sister, brother in law and absolutely adorable nieces and nephew and you all couldnt have asked for a more perfect brother and Uncle. I hope our Magpies have a great year especially for you. I will barrack extra hard for you Peter. Dont you worry. Finally back in the arms of your beloved Mum (baba) and Dad (dedo). Have the best cuddles together. All our love now and always, Clare, Mauro, Sarah and Anthony

Dear Lizzie, Michael, Karen, Lisa, Kate and Steve. Peter was a truly kind and gentle man that I will always remember with fond memories. He more than held his own during those backyard tennis and cricket games and loved to chat about the AFL, particularly the fortunes of his much beloved Magpies. He was always smiling and happy when he was around his family. It was a pleasure to have known PP and I will sadly miss him.
Steve Laios — 26 July 2020
Dear Elizabeth and family, my sincere condolences on the recent passing of your beloved brother, Peter. I have many joyous memories of the times spent with Peter, beginning with our primary school days and most recently, our 50 year cricket premiership reunion last December. I can still envisage the smile on Peters face upon seeing all of his former schoolmates/teammates. He will be sadly missed by all of us. Rest In Peace Peter.

I am truly shocked and saddened by the sudden death If my one and only accountant , Peter. Peter became my accountant in my 20s , I am now 50 but he was so much more than that, he became a financial advisor and a confidante to some difficult & personal issues too. He always went above and beyond! I ama deeply sorry to his family and loved ones. Vale Peter. X

I learned today of the sad passing of my friend Peter Petroff and it has affected me deeply.I last saw Peter in December of 2019 at the 50th anniversary reunion of our primary school premiership cricket team. It was a fantastic day with everyone talking and laughing as if it had only been yesterday that we had last seen each other. We talked about plans to make it an annual event but sadly we will now be missing one more treasured and valuable friend.I have known Peter since we met in Prep in 1963 at Gold Street State School, Clifton Hill. He moved to Spensley Street State School, Clifton Hill and I followed him there in 1966 in Grade 3 and we then went on to Fitzroy High School until Form 2 when my family moved. I recall attending Peters birthday parties at his home each year coincided with the end of the school year. Peter and his family always looked after some exuberant schoolboys with lots of food, gifts, and games! In later years I met up with Peter on several occasions when we would get together for lunch and chat about the old days. I didnt realise our most recent lunch in December would be the last time I would see him.To Elizabeth and family, I send my deep and heartfelt condolences on your tragic loss. I know you were very close, and you are feeling quitter shattered at the moment. Hopefully with the passage of time, your loving and happy memories of Peter coupled with everyones remembrances noted on here will partially fill the massive void Peters passing has left you. We will all fondly and lovingly remember your treasured brother and Uncle Peter. Vale Peter. Carn the Magpies!
Brad Edwards — 24 July 2020
I have been very upset and sad to find out that Peter passed away recently on the 21st of July. In my late 20's, Peter started out being my accountant but, almost 20 years later, he was one of my most trusted friends. His financial and personal advice, professionalism, humour and level of care was all second to none. My life is lesser for his passing and he will be desperately missed. God Bless you Peter xo
Ray /Yollie Rosales — 24 July 2020
Dear Michael, Liz and FamilyOur sincere condolences to you Liz and Michael and the family. So sad to hear about Peter. I have worked with him in the city for a short period .Our prayers are with you all in this sorrowful time. Rest In Peace Peter...Ray, and Yollie/ Rowena, Chris and Kaitlyn
Peter Christidis — 24 July 2020
I am deeply saddened at the passing of Peter, we were friends from Primary School & in the school cricket team together.In 1969, (grade 6), our cricket team won the school district cricket final.The cricket team recently had their 50th reunion (December, 2019) and it was a wonderful get together and a marvellous opportunity to see everyone there and have a few laughs talking about the "old" days.Peter was his usual talkative self & we all told him that he still looks exactly the same as he did 50 years ago !!!He was a caring, wonderful & compassionate person, always having time for others.Having been taken so suddenly is an under statement, he had so much more to give to everyone around him, most of all the members of his loving family.Elizabeth and Michael, your pain at Peter's loss would be insurmountable right now, but just take a moment to celebrate the joy and happiness of being lucky enough to share him being with you all for the time that he was.To all his little nieces and nephews, he loved you all very much so just make sure you have lasting, loving memories of your uncle all your lives.Rest in Peace Peter, your with the GREAT Collingwood players now...Coventry brothers...Collier brothers...etc...etcPeter Christidis

Dear Elizabeth, Michael and family. We are so shocked and saddened by Peters passing. Such a lovely, gentle man who never thought badly of anyone. He loved you so much and I know how devastated you must be Elizabeth at his loss. He was taken too suddenly and way too soon. His love for The Magpies was legendary and Im sure will be celebrated at his service. Thinking of you all at this terribly sad time. Much love from Gillian, Mark and family xx

With great sadness I speak these words. A kind, gentle giant who adored his sister and loved the black and white. Peters delightful in-depth conversations about our beloved Pies.You have the best seat in the house with the rest of the family. Bring the Pies home so we can crack a tinnie. Shine bright eternal light xxx
Wendy Veitch — 23 July 2020
Dear Elizabeth, Michael and family,Peter was a very special and dear friend to my brother, Trevor. This connection went right back to high school. I am assuming that this was how Trevor met and developed such a deep bond with you, Elizabeth, and then Michael. Trevor would be absolutely heartbroken if he was able to understand that Peter has passed away. We feel so devastated for you, Elizabeth, and hope you know how sad we are at the pain you are feeling. Know that we are sending our thoughts and prayers to you. Love Wendy &!Craig Veitch and Trevor Dodgson
