Peter DOWLING

Peacefully in the comfort of his own home, with his loving family at his side on Sunday, July 5, 2026, aged 83 years. Dearly loved husband of Wendy for 57 wonderful years. Much loved father and father-in-law of Joanne and Chris Dowling-Smith, Rochelle and Brian Falconer, Stephanie and Craig Argyle, treasured Grandad of Alex, Dion, Lochy, and Hannah. Much loved brother, brother-in-law, uncle and great-uncle, who will be sadly missed by all his extended family.
