Peter East, partner of James Rossiter. Who passed away by a heart attack after a car accident, on
the 13/10/07 in which he recieved only minor injuries but was in a ditch trapped under the car. He
released his seatbelt and tried to open the door in a panick during a skid and was thrown from the
car. He was only 37. The accident being a few kms. from our home at Montbron in the Charente
France. His official death was on the 14/10/07 as it took them over 5 hours to get him to hospital.
They sent the air ambulance away and took him by normal ambulance to Limoges hospital, which is over
100kms distant. Our local hospital at Angouleme was only 25kms away.
In 1995 Peter sat by my bedside for a week, while I was in hospital on a life support machine from a
brain Heamohrage. Not knowing if I would live or die. This was a bad time for Peter. There were
many more hard and worrying times for him and me, but he was always there for me. When many would
have walked away.
Peter was a rather shy quiet and timid person. Though would come out of his shell, once he got to
know someone. Very careing and considerate of others. He had a love of music and would often
listen to it while maintaining our home, which he also loved. He had only just found his place in
life and in France, where we had moved to in 2003. In search of a better life. (We never found
that better life as we were ripped off etc.) But left skint in France, we found our way. It was
hard, but I think it brough us closer.
Peter was born in St Albans Hertfordshire on 19/12/69. Later moving with his mother and brother, to
the North East of England. He there lived in Newton Aycliffe. He trained as a Chef and worked in
Darlington Memorial hospital. Later, when we moved to london, he worked at the Royal Free Hospital
in Hampstead. After we met in January 1990, he moved to the Newcastle area with me, which he came
to love. We did spend 6 years in Crouch End North London and several years in Weymouth Dorset.
Eventually moving back to the North East where we bought a house. After selling the house and
moving to France, we met a very nice Dutch family, who own a Bar/Hotel/Resaurant. Peter worked
there for a while. When he died, the owner and friend, Hester. Bought a tree for Peter and planted
it in the grounds. Some of Peters ashes were put below the tree. It is know as "Peters Tree". His
Mum took the rest back to the UK. I am now the part time gardener there, looking afer the beautiful
large grounds. And of course! Peter's Tree!
Peter and I were together for almost 18 years and in that time, Peter was everything to me. I
needed no other friends. Peter was the only friend I needed in life! He is greatly missed and I
find his passing hard to accept. He was such a lovely person.
Peter used to wonder, (being born in the South). "Do you think I could be considered a Geordie"?
And I used to tell him, home is where your heart is. Well Peter. You ARE! a GEORDIE!
At peter's service. The church was huge! Like a cathederal. His last favourite song I was told by
Hester. She told me he would arrive at work in the morning and select from the internet jukebox "I
want to break free" by Queen. He would dance around the empty bar and restaurant while singing to
it. Because of this, It was played - full blast! In church, As he was brought in and taken out of
the church. Quite a thing for a catholic country! The service was said in both French and English.
His catholic undertaker was so moved, that after the service was so moved about Peter & the service
being all about Peter and not god. He wanted to change his religion.
Peter and I were both athiest. I do not believe in god. Before or after Peters death. The church
service was out of respect and Peter would have loved the Drama and Theatricals of it. A good god
would not take innocents. So i Appologise to those who believe. There are too many gone too soon,
without good reason for there to be a god. So please do not be offended when I do not use the words
god or other such things. I am not offended by those who do believe. I'm sorry I cant say "'God
Bless you" to those who do believe.
WITH LOVE .XxX

Next To You
You cannot see or touch me
But I’m standing next to you
Your tears will only hurt me
Your sadness makes me blue
Be brave and show a smiling face
Let not your grief show through
I love you from a different place
Yet I’m standing next to you
Unknown
Not, How Did He Die, But How Did He Live?
Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away.
For Peter
Never think you are on your own
I`d never let you walk alone
When you`re down and want to cry
Let it out, let your tears run dry,
I watch and guide you everyday
So that you can find your way
And when you`re down and in despair
Just call my name and i`ll be there,
Right by your side through good and bad
But you need never feel sad,
Until it`s time for your journey home
Just remember you`re not on your own
We`ll meet again sometime soon
And we`ll be together, like the stars and moon.
xx
When I have no one to turn to
And I am feeling kind of low,
When there is no one to talk to
And nowhere I want to go
I search deep within myself
It is the love inside my heart
That lets me know my Angels are there
Even though we are miles apart.
A smile then appears upon my face
And the sun begins to shine.
I hear a voice, so soft and sweet
Saying, 'Everything will be just fine
It may seem that I am alone
But I am never by myself at all.
Whenever I need my Angels near
All I have to do is call.
MERRY CHRISTMAS 2008

I was shocked and very upset to hear that dear Peter East had been taken from us, i was a school friend from greenfield comprehensive in newton aycliffe, and we had some fun times in the group that we hung around in together, he was always very shy even then, i'm so glad he found happiness with his partner, Jim. My thoughts are with you now Jim and his family, i know he'll be very sadly missed, god bless you Peter, my love to you, see you in heaven, Mary x
