Peter Dixon - June 2023 - A man with a talent for finding the joy in life.

Dad's family and friends are spread across the United Kingdom and beyond, so, early on, he asked us to arrange a non-attended  cremation. His hope was that people would celebrate his life in their own way, at a time that suited them.

I hope this site will allow you to share your thoughts and memories of dad.  We may not be in the same room, but our hearts and minds will be in the same place.

Alan.

A life well lived. I have many happy memories of Christmas family gatherings at my grandparents house, a long time ago now but never to be forgotten. Peter was full of fun and enjoyed the banter and antics with other family members. This is how I will remember him, full of fun and enjoying life to the full. Sweet dreams Uncle Pete, lots of love, Chris.

Peter was my uncle. A lovely man, full of kindness and laughter. You could guarantee that if he was going to be at a family gathering there would always be fun. I have so many memories of joyous family Christmases. Valerie Later, my parents and aunts had many very happy holidays with Uncle Peter and Auntie Eileen exploring the countryside around Sheffield. It is sad that such a varied life so full of achievements has come to an end. R.I.P. Peter. Fondest love, Valerie

Sorry to hear the sad news about your dad. It must be some 40 years since I last saw Peter, but I have fond memories of him from the days when we were travelling up to Dundee. He was always interested in what we were up to and always seemed to be into the latest gadgets. I do remember him at Ceilidh when we came back from our sailing trip to Norway sitting out front on the grass with a knotted handkerchief on his head clearly suffering from the effects of Mike Harris’s lethal homebrew. I also got a strong sense of what he was achieving in teaching when he took us around his school. I had never been around a big comprehensive and was amazed at the facilities and the relaxed atmosphere – kids coming in for a swim and breakfast before school! I also remember your mum and dad’s kindness to my parents, putting them up on their way up to Dundee, a trip that they found very daunting. Great to see the photos, your Dad obviously had a very full and varied life. I thought it was typical that even in June he was out on another new gadget – the e-bike. A kind and gentle man. Best wishes, Brian. We're sorry to hear this. Even though your Dad lived to a great age, it's still a loss you don't want. Please accept our condolences. Your parents always made me very welcome at Chelsea Road and were influential in shaping my teenage development. I'm most grateful for their input to my life. We hope you're both well. With love Richard & Pat Thank you for your informing us of your dad’s death. With him going, another part of a very successful generation disappears. Ian always regarded your mum and dad in the same light as his own parents. He saw them as a hard-working team who considered others but knew there was more to life than just work. Your father further showed his strength of character in the diligent way he attentively looked after your mother as her faculties and health deteriorated. We are sure you will be able to draw strength in your loss from the fact that your dad had a successful, happy and pleasure filled quality of life right through to his final years. Thinking of you Ian and Julia Ferrie I am Laura Jellinek his neighbour in 64 Chelsea Road. Your Dad was the most lovely person who both me and my husband thought so much of. I would often pop in for cup of tea and a natter and was very fond of him a very wise, knowledgeable person so dedicated to his dear wife. We both pass on our condolences at this sad time of loss. I will never forget him. With best wishes Laura and David Jellinek
