WEST Peter Charles — Suddenly but quickly on Monday 17th August 2026 at home. Survived by his best friend Mitzi. Father of Adrian (dec), Amy and Brendan. Husband to Lesley Staniland (dec). Big brother to Susan, Jill and John. Peter (Dad) leaves behind many drones, many photos (at least 50% of them his dog!) and too many resistors to count. He will be missed for his contributions to the flying community, his love of photography, electronics and music. A celebration of Peter's life will be held in the Whakatāne Crematorium Chapel, Ohope Road, Whakatāne, on Friday 28th August at 11am, followed by a private cremation.  Communications to the West family, C/- PO Box 2070, Whakatane 3159 or online at willettsfuneralservices.co.nz
