Phunter (Peter Hunter ) passed away last night. For those who did not know him he was a member of this site for a while. He had 2 boys who are suffer from a rare skin illness and he was one of the few I know who managed to live for a number of years from betting on horse racing. He leaves a wife and 3 children behind.<br>I received a telephone call this eveining from his wife informing me of this terrbile news.There is to be a post mortem and if I learn anymore I will pass the news on.<br>R.I.P. Phunter<br>
What very sad news. He was always so good-natured. I’m prone to feel more sorry for the family in such circumstances.
Who knows if he and the Man Upstairs will be pulling each other’s leg now, and he’ll keep trying to persuade Himself to follow the racing more closely with him?
My God, what a shock. Incredibly sad news and he’ll be very, very missed here.
My thoughts are with his family obviously.
That is simply terrible news –
Puts things into perspective.
Spoke to Pete many times in the chat room and we’d always planned to meet up at Kelso some time. Sadly now that will never happen.
Seagull, please pass on our condolonces to his wife and family.
Desperate news.
Be at rest, Peter. Your memory won’t be forgotten on these pages.
Heartfelt condolences to all who knew and cared about him.

Shocking and terribly sad news. Phunter was one of my favourites on the forum, and was a very good judge as well as a great guy.
R.I.P.
That is a real shock.I would like to pass on my sincere condolences to his wife and family and all his friends at this very hard time.He will be greatly missed.<br>R.I.P. Phunter
The forum will be a poorer place without his knowledge, humour and general love of racing and betting as a whole. A terrible, terrible shock.
His widow Janice aksed me to inform members of this site as she knew Pete used to come on here a lot.
I will of course pass the messages on.
I know one of Petes ante post bets was Fire Height Dan in the greyhound Derby @33/1 lets hope that wins for her.
Terrible news, he will be missed by all on this forum and my condolences go out to his wife and children.
R.I.P<br>
A terrible shock.<br>His incisive contributions to this forum will be much missed.<br>Please pass on the thoughts of members to his family
Gutted!
He was such a character on this forum and will be missed. Enjoyed the banter with him over the footy.
My thoughts are with his family.
Seagull : I know it is a side matter but do the kids have eb?
<br>
Thanks Seagull!
Just an idea but I want to do something.
I support and donate each year to DebRA the Charity that supports and raises money for sufferers of Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) and raises money for research into a cure for EB. My best friend’s kid has EB and it is horrible. visit http://www.debra.org.uk/ for information on the charity
In Phunter’s memory and to support his kids I am prepared to donate a ton to DebRA.
Does anyone else want to join me? <br>If so can we do this through the Forum somehow i.e. give the money to the Forum to be donated to DebRA Charity from the Forum in Phunters memory?
