So sad to hear of Peter’s passing from this world. I first met Peter at Behy primary school when we were both 5 years old, and shared classrooms together at Behy and Muredach’s secondary school up to the Leaving cert. I left Ballina permanently soon afterwards and finally ended up in New York where I now reside. I lost track of Peter down through the years until I met him again at our class reunion in June 2018. He was the same old Peter, in great form and as boisterous as ever. I spoke to him on the phone in early January this year, and he unformed me of his medical prognosis, that he had lived a good life and was not afraid to die. Definitely a man of great courage and resilience. I told him that I would pay him a visit when I am at home during the summer and reminisce about the old days, but unfortunately Peter did not wait for my visit . Condolences to his family at this difficult time. May he rest in peace.

Very sad to learn of the passing of Peter. Peter was a gentleman, with a charming, charismatic presence. He was kind, complimentary and supportive to all, with endless energy, passion, creativity and drive. He always spoke highly about his cherished Ballina – the good times, the great memories, the era of Ballina’s Epic Nightlife, the social scene, his beloved Parents and Family, the legendary HANLEY Shop, and the Salmon Festival. Peter loved Ballina and its People – a forever, fond fan, very proud to call Ballina Home. He will be dearly missed. Rest in Peace, Peter.
