My deepest condolences to Peter Holland’s family and loved ones. ❤️
I had the pleasure of working with Peter on match days here in Melbourne for the Mighty Brisbane Lions . It was always great to see Peter’s happy face and wonderful spirit on match days, and he will be sadly missed.
Peter would have been so incredibly proud watching the Mighty Lions win the 3-Peat on Saturday.
Rest in peace, Peter. You’ll always be remembered. ❤️

We; Rowan, Michael (Andy) and I , Creina, wish to pass on our heart belt condolences to Bev, Kathryn, Michael and family and Maureen and Dennis and the extended Holland clan.
Peter was one of our wonderful older cousins who we loved dearly and held in high esteem. He “China” was one of our idols when we were kids and was always kind and generous to us. More recently Peter and I chatted regularly by phone and caught up when he and Bev came to Queensland or I visited Victoria. I’m so glad he and Bev visited me in my new home in August and caught up with Michael and I.
We will always hold him dearly in our thoughts..
Love to all,
Creina, Rowan and Michael Holland
Another good man has left us. Lots of laughs and fun times with China at Officer.
Thinking of you Kathryn and Michael with much love.
