HAYMAN, Frederick Peter (Pete)

19-Dec-1941 - 14-Oct-2020

A most generous, kind, witty, stubborn, and loving friend, that embodied stoicism, integrity, and a fighting spirit to the end.

Darling Pete,

The sadness has well and truly set in, and shows no signs of abating. However, when I think of you, I look at your comforting words below, and alas, I smile!

Goodnight my very best friend

I’m sure you will see me to the very end

We play on a chessboard I am the knight

You are the castle and we have a great fight

It’s only a game

But we play all the same

As you rush out to catch your tram

You make me feel I am damned

Sleep well tonight my very best friend

And may your dreams have a very good end.

Thank you for all your lovely poems, I will cherish them forever.

Hope you are enjoying a nice glass of Vasse Felix, and remember, you owe me a Cryptic Crossword!

Thank you for the friendship, love, and laughs over the years. We had great fun. I miss you.

Love Always, Esther.
