RIP Peter Horner – formerly Ezytaper Europe

Posted by Joe McNamara on April 5, 2011 at 8:22 am

Hi All,

I’ve had an email this morning from Karen, Peter’s wife…..

"I just wanted to let you know that it is with great sadness that Peter passed away 11th February he had been poorly for some time and suffered a stroke in December".

I know we’ve lost another fantastic person from our signmaking community.

I worked with Peter on the ezytaper for a bit and did the sign show in Birmingham a few years back, and just wanted to say, I’ve not met a more genuine, helpful person – always smiling and full of fun.
I’m more than a little bit emotional as I type this, and I’m sure he’ll be looking down at me, laughing.

Rest in Peace mate,
Joe

Peter delivered our ezytaper and was as you say a gent.

Very friendly and a pleasure to be around.

RIP Peter

gob smacked Joe…
now if anyone, Peter was full of life, everything full on with him and funny with it. had a kinda energetic presence being in his company, even talking to him on the phone had a buzz to the conversation…

This is very sad news indeed… I’m Gutted…

This is the 4th person within the industry in the past year, to have died. Unbelievable….

I have to admit I am choked by this news.

Peter was a brilliant chap who couldn’t do enough to to help both with our ezy taper and when one of our jobs went missing in Spain!

My thoughts are with his family at this sad time.
