Peter Sharp
1939-2021

Peter was born Peter Edmund Jefferson and adopted by May and Percy Sharp, from his extended family, at around the age of nine.

He was a boarder in Johnsons, and although he didn’t say much about his academic success, he loved sport, especially cross country running. After leaving school he did National Service with the RAF, which he loved. He went into banking and worked for Barclays, NCR and Facit Addo, after which he set up his own company selling computers and computer supplies.

Peter did not enjoy good health and when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2003 he decided to retire in order to enjoy a few years of quality retirement. Alas, this was not to be as his health had deteriorated and he was very poorly. We bought him a golden retriever puppy whom he adored and who brought him so much pleasure. Peter died peacefully at home last year with his family at his side. He received outstanding care from our local surgery and Hospice in the Weald.
