Imagine my surprise when I received an email from the Prime Ministers Office this morning.
Dear Mr. Maxwell,
Many thanks for your email, advising us that Past District Governor, Peter Parr, passed away on 6 January.
As someone who has been very deeply involved in the community, Mr. Parr will be missed very much, and I will let the Prime Minister know the sad news.
Kind regards
Dinah Okeby
