Peter ASSAF Obituary

My condolences to Laurel & the family. I have great memories of my friendship with Peter during my many years in Motueka. Our discussions on local news & business was always enjoyable. RIP Peter.

Sending our deepest sympathy to the Assaf family. We loved it when Mr Assaf visited Tapawera in his iconic van. He was such a cheerful gentleman and a very good salesman. Those were the good days.

Peter's death reminds me of the smiling kind man who lived in our Tudor Street and had an interesting well set out clothing shop opposite the school. Peter is also remembered fondly by those from the extensive rural community who he visited in that old van.

Our condolenses Laurel and family we just heard of Peter's passing. We are deeply grateful for your kindness toward us and our family. I will always remember working with Peter. My son's first job was mowing your lawns and he still speaks of this to his children. You will be remembered with warmth and appreciation. Praying God's strength and comfort keep you and your family at this time.

We are so sad to hear of Peter's passing What a great man he was We have such great memories of his many visits in his wonderful van with Just the thing for you Tinkys memories go back to the Mot United Football days Pete you will always be in our memories and our heartfelt condolences to all the family

Great memories of Peter having dinner with us at Kaihoka after a big day travelling in his Van all the way from Collingwood to Paturau calling on folk every six weeks. He loved a roast followed by a game of Poker (which he mostly won). Rest peacefully Peter.

To Laurel and family,
I was sorry to hear of Peters passing and wish to pass on our condolences to you all. I have known Peter pretty much all my life and remember him always being here. My godfather was Robin Wratt and when he and Rona got married Peter was upset that I'd been invited and he hadn't! When I explained why he was a little happier.
My wife's memory was hearing him say I've got just the thing for you!

So nice to have spent some time with Peter in assisting to lease property on High Street Motueka
A true legend of a
Businessman.

To Laurel and all the family. Sorry to learn of Peter's passing, and hope the memories and photos you hold will help you through the days ahead. Lesley
