Sincerest condolences to Annette and Family on your very great loss.
Peter was a true gentleman and great company on many occasions
over the years. This was especially true in Paris in October which brings
to memory many memorable evenings.
Again deepest sympathies to all.

Most sincere sympathy to you Annette and family on the death of Peter. I have a lot of wonderful memories spent in the company of the McAleer s.
Remembering especially the Christmas mornings drinking champagne with the Meldrum’s in Portmarnock. Peter always had a new gadget to memorise me with. Lovely memories like that will be treasured and not forgotten.
— Lovel
Dear Annette - We were so very saddened to hear of Peter's passing. We all have such wonderful memories of him. He was such a special member of the Maloney family. We know how much Don treasured his friendship with Peter. Hopefully they are sharing a good full-bodied red together right now. We will miss him. May you gain strength from the special memories you have of him. With love to you and all your family. Sean, Sharon, Georgia and Ewan xxxx

I regret have not seen him in over 70 years,but when I saw his name I remembered we were great friends and made out First Communion together in the Convent National School in Rushbrooke in Cobh Co. Cork. in 1948,( I think his Dad was the Cobh Gas Co. Manager}

Orla, it is with great sadness that I heard of the passing of your Dad. Thankfully, we were able to watch the dignified funeral ceremony on the internet.
I remember the support you gave the Lyons family during our own bereavements and I am sorry that we were not able to share in your grief in some way.
It is a small comfort to know your Dad was so well liked and that he will be missed by so many people.
With my heartfelt condolences to you and all your family.

Dear Annette and family, We were saddened to hear that Peter had passed away . I have just viewed the funeral service which evoked many memories of Peter through my friendship with Sarn. He has not wasted a day of his life ! Love Sally and Wayne Ramsay and the rest of the Pethick clan.
— Sally Ramsay née Pethick
Annette & family
A good friend of mine Sarn ( Dons daughter) passed this link on for which I am truly grateful.
The service was beautiful but strange... minus what we know would have been a fan fare!! I hope you do get the opportunity in the future to celebrate with wine, friends, lyrical music and warm memories. Mine are if fun times spent at Gidgeeganup and one special trip to Chile where Peter took us to wonderful markets and restaurants( with a bottle of red wine for a Pre dinner drink and a small bottle of home made low cal salad dressing in the suit pocket!) He had a wonderful way of making everyone feel special with his kindness, facial expressions, wicked humour, smiles, stories and generosity. Thank you for sharing him with the world! Fond memories & sorry for your loss.
— Karen Sabitay
Annette and family, we were very sad to hear of Peter's passing. Our deepest sympathy to you all. We always loved catching up with Peter on his many trips to Perth. It was our privilege to "attend" his funeral the other day. Treasure your happy memories.
— Brian & Margaret Nevard
Bernadette,

Growing up in Omagh and hearing, from my parents, Frank and Nora, about his travels, Peter's life was always a fascination to me. I was too young to hear all the tales and, by the time, I was old enough, I had moved away from Omagh. Peter obviously led a full life and I know my parents will have already cracked open a bottle (or several) as they welcome him and continue their friendship. Deepest sympathy, Bernadette, to you and the whole family.
— William Mullan
To Annette and family, thinking of you all at this sad time. I only knew Peter for a short time, but long enough to know that he was a gentleman. Xxx
— Julie mcanespy
Sincere sympathies to Peter's family. May he rest in peace.

Dear Orla & family, I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Peter, your Dad, and a very well known business leader. I am sorry at this time we cannot honour him in the usual way, but hope that opportunity won't be far away. My prayers are with you all. Aidan
— Aidan Connolly
Dear Annette and Bernadette,
That was a lovely and moving tribute to Peter. Florence and I are now sitting at home in the sun with a glass of Australian wine, reflecting on the two ceremonies, especially the part in the crematorium where your family spoke so lovingly about their father. We realise how little we know about the McAleer branch of the family tree and would love to have good long conversations with you both in the not-too-distant future. We are with you in spirit, mourning a great family man. With all our love, Florence and Chris.
— Chris and Florence
Dear Bernadette,
I am very sad on hearing of Peter's death. Thank you for passing on the message of his having passed away.

Please pass on our sympathy and sadness at the news of his death. Although Peter's quality of life was devastated by his stroke, his zest for life was visible on the occasions in recent years when we met him - in Tully Cross with Annette and other family members whose names I have not remembered and at the funeral of Patricia.

Together with his zest for life came the total frustration which he felt at not being able to live life to the full and this frustration was shared by Annette and the whole family. It was heart-warming to see how you all rallied around Peter and supported him. Florence and I have fond memories of Peter and, of course, of Annette being with him.

Peter and all of you are in our thoughts and in our prayers these days. It is so strange to "watch" Mass on the webcam from an empty . I miss Paul Andrews too at times like this.

Again, thank you for keeping in touch.
Florence and I wish you good health and peace at this time and always.
With best wishes to the family,
Chris and Florence.

Thoughts, prayers and love to Annette and all the family. Peter was a much loved friend and business associate of my father John Court (dec) and respected as a generous, kind and hilariously funny gentleman by our whole family. Larger than life, Peter has left us with so many wonderful memories to cherish and we raise a glass in his honour. May he Rest In Peace xx

Annette, Teddy, Orla, Cliodhna, Una and Brian,
Thank you for sharing gorgeous Peter with us. He always took his godfather role seriously, never more so than after Mick and Mary died offering love, guidance and lots and lots of laughter. He helped me in so many ways. The kids adored him as did Fran- so many stories to be remembered over so many years- what will we do without him? Heart's a bit broken but I know he's gone to a better place. Love you all x you have been incredibly strong xxx
— Fiona Grant

His kindness, help and advice will never be forgotten and will always be treasured along with the many happy memories I have of spending time with him, and you all, both here in Ireland and in WA. He truly was one of life's gentlemen. Love to you all

Dear Annette, Cathal, Orla, Cliodna, Una and Brian,

We have just watched a beautiful service to farewell our dear friend Peter.
It certainly highlighted what a special person he was to so many. Generous, mentor to many in business and life, entertaining and a character who loved and enjoyed life.
We will always be so grateful for his love and support to our family over the many years and the wonderful laughs and stories of Peter's antics will still be told and shared for many years to come.
All our love and thoughts are with you all at this very sad time.

We have already raised a glass or two in his honour.

Our deepest condolences to you on the passing of Peter. We feel so honoured to have known such a wise, kind and generous man. He will be sorely missed.
We had wonderful times together in Perth and also Chile.
— John And Val Van Dieren
I remember Peter from the heady days I worked with Irish Base Metals and Ennex. He was larger than life in so many ways. His sidekick and friend Andy Meldrum is no doubt waiting for him in that gold mine in the sky where they will recall the heady days of mineral exploration in Ireland and Oz. He was the last of an extraordinary group of men, the likes of which we are unlikely to see again. May he and the rest of the boys rest in peace.
— Nick Coy
To the McAleer family, Our deepest condolences are extended to you all during this very sad time. We have many fond memories of Peter with Una on his trips Down Under. Shared a few drinks and won some horse races!!!
Peter was such an integral part of your family and stating he will be deeply missed is an understatement.
God bless to you all.
— Sinead & Dean, Melbourne

— Jen & Fran
Dear Annette My memories of Peter go back to when I was single digit years old. He used to leave a box of cigars at our house in Chile and my sister and I would take turns keeping them fresh by putting a slice of apple in the box. As a grew older I have fond memories of champagne and racing year after year at Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, dinners in HK, London, the west coast of Ireland, Dublin to name a few. Peter was really one of a kind and loved to LIVE life and was extremely generous and kind. I am grateful to have known him and will miss him but his memory will live on. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this sad time. Please accept condolences from my family to yours. Jenniffer and Rafael
