Vale Peter Hall
Vale Peter Hall
It with great sadness that the Upwey Fire Brigade announces the passing of 56 year veteran Peter Hall after a very short battle with cancer.
Peter joined the brigade in April 1968 and spent the majority of his life serving and protecting the people of Upwey and Victoria. His list of achievements in the CFA is extensive.
- Apparatus Officer
- Communication Officer
- Foreman
- 2nd Lieutenant
- 1st Lieutenant ( 22 years )
- National Medal 3rd Clasp
- National Emergency Medal ( 2009 fires )
- Upwey Fire Brigade Life Membership
Peter was also the driving force behind the Anthony and Travis Hall memorial driver education fund which was formed after Peter’s two boys were tragically killed in an automobile accident. This fund has since provided defensive driver training to many young CFA members and in the process has potentially saved countless lives.
On top of all this Peter was an ever present mentor, driver educator and friend to many in the brigade and his presence around the station will be sorely missed.
The brigade sends it’s heartfelt condolences to Liz, Marcella and Peter’s extended family.
The flag in Upwey will fly at half mast from tomorrow (Sunday) to pay respect to Peter.
Funeral arrangements are unknown at this stage.
Thankyou Peter. We’ll miss you but you are with your boys again.
