Vale Peter de Meur

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I was saddened to learn of the recent passing of a really great friend of mine Peter De Meur. Peter was a dedicated volunteer in our local community, committing much of his life to serving others. Peter was a member of the Lions Club for over 24 years, holding the positions of President and Treasurer at the St George Lions Club and, more recently, volunteering alongside the Oatley Lions team. During his time with the club, he made many significant contributions, including organising the Oatley Village Community Festival, the Annual Lions Charity Golf Day, and raising funds for various local organisations and charities. Peter also regularly volunteered with 'Gabbies Sewing Angels', knitting clothes for Australians escaping domestic violence and natural disasters. He certainly had a heart for helping others. I am honoured to have presented Peter with an Individual Volunteer Achievement Award at my 2024 St George Community Awards, recognising his outstanding service to the Oatley Lions. Peter will be deeply missed, and I extend my sincerest condolences to his wife Beverly, his family and friends.
