The obituary notice of Peter WESTERMAN

To our grandad

Today the earth was quiet,
as if even the wind knew your name.

In the hush between heartbeats,
sunflowers leaned a little closer,
their golden faces turned
not just to the sun,
but to you.

You left fingerprints in soil and sky,
in every careful seed you planted,
in every engine you brought to life,
where steel and spirit met
on open roads that never really end.

We wore sunflowers for you today,
bright as memory,
steady as love,
a small echo of the gardens
you made bloom in all of us.

And somewhere beyond our sight,
where the light is always warm
and the roads run smooth forever,
you’ve found her again—
your Rosemarie—
waiting like spring after a long winter.

So ride easy, Peter,
through fields that never fade.
We’ll look for you
in every sunflower that stands tall
and every quiet moment
that feels like home.

Love always, Adam & AJ

I'm sorry to hear that your wonderful dad has passed away Craig and Claire, he was a character that I will never forget, his sense of humour was second to none and was highly respected. My love and thoughts are with you at this sad time. Rest in peace Peter 🙏🏻

Rest easy, Grandad ❤️

No more pain, no more suffering… back where you always wanted to be, with Grandma again.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the memories growing up. You were the one who got me into motorbikes, the one who sparked something that’s now turned into my own successful business. That part of me will always carry you with it.

I learnt a lot from you, Grandad. Not just the practical things, but how to love. The way you loved Grandma stayed with me. I see it in my own life now, 16 years with my beautiful wife Alexandra who’s been my rock through everything. And Codey, your great grandson, is turning 10 this year… I wish you could see him.

Life isn’t always simple, and it’s not easy losing someone you love, especially when things weren’t always how you’d hope. I’m sorry it wasn’t always easy between us.

But none of that takes away from what you meant to me.

Until we meet again, Grandad 🤍

Sleep easy Peter. A gentleman in every sense of the word.
Quietly dignified, yet never without a spark of humour that could warm a room when it mattered most. You carried yourself with a calm strength, the kind that doesn’t need to be loud to be deeply felt.

A grandfather to Adam, and great-grandad to Codey.

A motorbike enthusiast at heart, you carried that same quiet passion into the things you loved — the hum of an engine, the freedom of the road, moments of peace found in motion.

Now reunited with your beautiful wife Rosemarie, may you both rest side by side once more, where love carries on beyond time.

Sleep tight, always. 🌙
