He seemed a nice bloke. Intelligent and awake. Condolences to his lovely family.

I read that a few days ago, he must have aged in the meantime, aged 61 on the channel 4 post
young man really, I thought he was older than that https://www.mylondon.news/news/celebs/channel-4-gogglebox-star-andy-21417198

Pete died a couple of months ago but I've seen no mention here of that so I'll add it here.

Thanks Naomi, he was a good man, that family fostered over 100 children and were so good, hard to believe when you're watching gogglebox the good these people do, his story surprised me when I read about him

[naomi24]

Pete or Andy?

[ducksie]

Pete

[naomi24]

Oh really? I liked him and his wife. Proper old East Enders. The sort 'they' say are the salt of the earth... and from what you've said they really were.

I can't say I care much for andy's family. Can't stand that son.

[ducksie]

oh I hear you Naomi, it's the son turned me off that family, if you read the link you provided, you wil see the bit I said, they were foster parents

[naomi24]

Thanks ducksie. I read of Pete’s death a while ago and just provided the link for information.

yes and there ages were 62, , 71 and 91 - average 74. So nothing really remarkable.
