Peter Alexander Olliver
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Peter on 7 November 2025
after a long and brave battle with cancer.
Much loved husband of Jenny, treasured Dad to Claire and Simon, father-in-law to Lydia, and precious Pop to Zoe and Pippa. Beloved brother and brother-in-law to Donald and the late Ruth, Alison and Lex,
John and Sandra, David and Robyn, Alan and the late Julie.
Pete was a man of great positivity and good humour, which remained until the end.
He will be immensely missed by all who knew and loved him.
He also wanted us to thank those who provided care, support and friendship throughout his life,
particularly in these last few difficult months.
He requested in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to the Cancer Society of Marlborough
via their website or at the service.
Messages to the family can be addressed to 25 Bary Street, Springlands, Blenheim 7201

Dear Jenny and Family,
We were very sorry to hear the very sad news about Peter.
He and you have been such a formidable team and have had such a huge impact on the lives of so many students and the wider Marlborough community. Thank you, both.
As a colleague, I have witnessed firsthand the respect for and the awe with which students have held Peter, and am sure there are many who have been encouraged by Peter's gentle, kind, interested and humorous manner.
Take good care.
Thinking of you all.
Liz Cromarty and family
