Tribute
Green In a tribute to the late Edward
Peter Green (PJ, 15 January, p66),
David and Susan Sevage write: Peter Green was born in Grimsby in 1944
and after his apprenticeship went on to qualify from Bradford School
of Pharmacy in 1969. In 1968, while still studying, he married Joyce,whom
he had known since their school days.
His first managerial post was in Somerset but after four years Peter and Joyce,
with their new daughter Karen, returned to the north of England living in Hunmanby,
with Peter taking on a managerial position with Selles in Filey. Their son Robert
was born in 1974.
In 1986 Peter and Joyce decided to go it alone and purchased their own community
pharmacy in Malton, where they moved to live. This would have been a great loss
to his employers but a great benefit to his customers in Malton who came to know
him as a respected and reliable source of help and information. During this time
Peter served as chairman of the York branch of the Society.
In 2000 Peter decided to sell the pharmacy and work as a locum, supposedly so
that he would be able to work fewer hours.
Peter was well known in the area because he had been an active member of the
Lions for over 25 years.
We came to know Peter and Joyce at the UniChem Convention in Vancouver in 1994
and instantly got on together. The following year, after the Marrakech Convention,
we drove a four-wheeled vehicle through the Atlas Mountains together. This was
the start of our annual holidays together, be it after a convention or otherwise.
Like us, Peter had a love of the outdoors and nature, and we were fortunate to
visit many special places around the world and meet some interesting people.
This also allowed Peter to exploit some of his other interests, especially trains.
Peter would generally manage a ride on the footplate thanks to his outgoing and
friendly personality, and of course his love of all things related to railways.
His boyhood love of trains was rekindled when living in Hunmanby, when he and
Joyce watched the Flying Scotsman turn around at Butlins near Filey. Those who
attended the Vancouver UniChem convention might remember him, in his overalls,
covered in soot on the Royal Hudson. Peter served as chairman of the Derwent
Valley Light Railway more than once and will be sadly missed by all his friends
there.
Peter was also well known for keeping goats, which always made a good talking
point and gave everybody a few laughs. The overseas trips also helped him collect
many stamps to add to his vast collection and to help others through various
charities, especially in poorer countries he had visited.
This year, while on holiday with us in New Zealand, Peter again managed several
footplate rides, notably on the Transalpine. However, on 8 December Peter died
suddenly at the beautiful Hot Water Beach on the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand.
It was a great honour to have known Peter and a great privilege to have had him
as a good friend. We will miss his great sense of humour and enthusiasm for life.
Fortunately we will retain special memories of our expeditions together and of
the laughs we shared. Like us, everybody who knew him will know we have lost
a thoroughly nice guy.
Our sympathies extend to Joyce, Karen and her husband David, Robert and the rest
of the family.
