ROBINSON.— Rev Fr Peter OAM

ROBINSON.— Rev Fr Peter OAM

13/1/1933 – 14/3/2020

Dearly beloved son of Arthur and Emmie (both dec.) Loved brother of Carmel (dec.) and brother-in-law of Jack Myers (dec.) and fond uncle to their children and grandchildren; John (dec.) and brother-in-law of Joan and fond uncle to their children and grandchildren; Kathie (dec.); and Clare (Sister Clare of the Daughters of Charity, Marsfield NSW). Dearly respected nephew and cousin to the Newtons, Nolans and Carolans.

A much loved and respected Priest; equally loved by the extended families.

The funeral celebrations of Fr Peter’s life have been postponed until further notice.

Some of the science around Coronavirus COVID-19, (that humans are affected by their environment and particularly by the behaviour of others) is, in a sense, a reminder of how Peter lived. Through his actions we learnt that individuals, communities no matter how big or small, can be affected by the good in others: we know it, we feel it, we all felt it with Peter - his voice, his handshake, his body language, his sign language, his look and concern only for you as a beautiful human being. Anyone who came in contact with Peter in some way had to be affected. During his 87 years he had mastered the art of what someone has described as the moment when our thanks-giving becomes our thanks-living.

Gratitude and joy defined his mission in this life to eternity. At a future date, when circumstances permit, we will arrange the fitting memorial service we know Peter would like us all to enjoy.

In the meanwhile there will be a private burial.
