Peter Wierenga - Our utmost thanks to you , you will be dearly missed

January 30, 2023 Helen Leach

Friends and members of Polio SA

It is with sadness we learn of the passing of Peter Wierenga -our group’s Treasurer, Board member and former Chairman.

Peter was also a Board member at Polio Australia.

Peter gave many years of service to Polio SA, and in a moment of upset at the passing of Brett Howard, took control of things and made sure our organization stayed firm.

Many of us privileged to know Peter , will remember his contribution to Polio SA - his wit, and humor, and his gentle Canadian accent. Peter cared for his fellow man and showed love and understanding of those around him.

Others can tell of Peter- the husband, father and educator.

We at Polio SA can vouch for the care and love he extended to all of us.
