FITZPATRICK, Peter John ‘PJ’

Sending our sincere condolences to Peter’s wife Regina, his children Andrea, Roslyn, Ronald, John, and all their families.
90 years of memories with Peter, giving his all to his family, many friends, and the community more broadly. Sorry we are unable to attend from Townsville. Thank you for the live stream option, which we will be able to join to be with you on Monday to farewell Peter.
Thinking of you all,
Regards Jennifer (née Henderson, Werrimull) & Ron Patterson.

Thinking of all Pete family fond memories when he used deliver parcels around town many years ago he always had time for a chat Pete was a real gentleman rest in peace Pete

Many fond memories from St Jo’s days especially on the bus back to Red Cliffs. Peter always had a happy smile for everyone. Robert, Cherie, Cameron and Michaela.

Deepest sympathy to Regina and all the family. We miss seeing you at the Workers on Friday night Pete.

Pete – you were the best bus driver, the best wedding MC and always a great listener with advice that was valued more than you knew. You became a friend to our family and your family became friends of ours. Cleaning buses and ironing were two of the many parts of our association over the years but the thing I will most remember is getting off the school bus every day and hearing “Seeya’ later George”. So it’s my turn now, not to say goodbye but “Seeya’ later Pete”. xx

Our sincere sympathy to Regina, Andrea, Roslyn, Ron, John, partners and families on the loss of wonderful Peter. He was a true and lively friend, full of fun and very generous in giving his time to helping others.
We remember the great times with Peter playing tennis and all the social occasions after tennis.
Our love and regards to you,
Len (Lennie” as Pete called him) and Rae

We’ve all lost a truly great man in Pete, and his absence will be deeply felt by everyone who knew him. He brought so much warmth, humour, and kindness into our lives, and he had a wonderful way of making everyone feel accepted and valued. Pete was the kind of person who could make you smile even on the hardest days.

We loved him dearly, and we were incredibly lucky to have known him and shared in the joy he brought to so many. His memory will always stay with us.

God bless you, Pete. You will be missed more than words can say. 💙

I remember Fitzy with fondness. He showed kindness, compassion and a great spirit on and off the tennis court. Our Irymple Tennis Club days were full of fun, and laughter.
Condolences to Regina, Andrea, Ros, Ron and John.
Fitzy will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

We are so sorry for your loss. Peter was a wonderful man, with a heart of gold, he will be missed dearly.
Please know that you are in our thoughts at this difficult time.
Sending the family all our love.

When People talk about the your life they can give it the dates 1935-2026 but the important bit is the dash in between the dates. The life you’ve led, the friends you’ve made and the Family you’ve have and Cherish. Well Pete you lived that dash and made the memories for your family and friends to keep with them.
My memories are you taking Linda and I for a ride in Ron’s Jag and the day after a ride on the school bus.
Having a dance with you at Ros’ wedding and then you and Regina coming to England for my wedding and always having a good chin wag.
2 families sharing visits and memories over 40years and just by chance of 2 girls meeting in Canada.
Will always remember your smile xx
Love Deborah, Iain, Eve and Grace

Barbara and Jack sending love to Regina and Family at this time xx

Just a great bloke .

Dear Regina Andrea Ros Ron John and families . Thinking of you all at the death of Peter . We have so many wonderful memories over the years . Tennis , Bus trips and many friends gathering. God Bless you all . Love Maureen Cynthia Graeme Emma & Sophie . Xo .

So sorry for the sad loss of Peter – One of a kind always a cheeky smile and great humour . I have such fond memories, Peter picked Deb and I up at the bus station to attend Ros and Phils wedding he couldn’t believe we had come via Griffith he thought it so funny we had gone the long way around.
Walking down the street everyone knew Peter and he greated them with a smile and he knew everyones name somewhat of a celeb I thought.
I will cherish the memories made with Peter and Regina in both Australia and England. I feel so lucky to have visited november last year it felt like no time had passed and we picked up were we had left off this i will cherish always.
Sending love to Regina and all the family

Thinking of you all on the passing of a wonderful man. Peter was one of my father’s best friends, Les Breeding, and my Dad thought the world of him.

Deepest sympathies to Regina, and family on the passing of your beloved, Peter. Will be thinking of you all as you say your farewell tomorrow. May Peter rest in eternal peace.

Very fond memories of our bus trips from Karadoc to Mildura High School – 2 girls from Queensland, going to High School on the Tech school bus. Peter protected us and made us feel safe. It meant more to us than words can say. A true gentelman.

Pete drove me to school on the Colignan bus for many years (yr7-12).
If my sister and I were late (a lot) he would roll back down the hill to our driveway as we ran to get to the bus. He’d always smile and say “running a bit late girls?” Standard reply was yup and he’d just laugh.
Always smiling and happy , never grumpy.

When I got off the bus it was see ya “Razzle”. See ya Pete.

Condolences to Peter’s family, lots of great memories of him.
Thinking of you all.

You will be missed uncle Pete, sending all our love Dale, Leanne, Simone, Kristy, Nathan Casey Brady

Pete,
We always looked forward to seeing you with your beautiful smile and your wonderful disposition

Hi Regina, Ros & all the family, I just heard about Peter’s passing. Sue rang me and told me. What a beautiful man. So sorry to hear the news. We all loved him so much. I remember when Mum was sick Regina & Peter were doing a road trip to somewhere & spent most of the day saying the rosary. Lots of love and heartfelt sorrow to all. XXX
