MCLEAN – Peter (Pie man) Kenneth

Sincere condolances to Chris and all the Family. From the staff at Ritchies Churchill.

Bop,

So many memories from the first time we met at Traralgon Tech back in 1972 after you’d moved down from Vinifera. Becoming friends at school, playing footy against and eventually together with, drinking, you doing burns outs in your old HQ and heaps of other great times I have never forgotten and never will till it’s my time to go.

Boppa from an old mate who shared treasured times from many moons ago you will be missed i;m sure rest in peace Buddy.

Always a gentleman. Condolences Chris and family.

So sad to hear of your passing Peter (Bop). A Traralgon legend. Such fond early teenage memories of the McLean backshed, and drinking sessions as 15, 16 y.o’s. People were drawn to you, in Sport , Work or Play. Condolences to all your family. R.I.P.

So Sad to hear about Bop same as comments above had some great times lot of fun such a good bloke. A old friend and mate

Fond memories of a teammate, and opponent in both cricket and baseball teams. I remember that you had one of the first colour TV’s in town and we’d all pack in to watch the test matches. Condolences to Christine and family.

Sincere Sympathy Chris,Mathew, Erin and Betty and Jo.
If thoughts of deepest sympathy can comfort you in any way, please know, in all sincerity our thoughts and prayers are with you every day.
R.I.P. Peter Kenneth..

Shocked and saddened to hear Pete has passed away.
Like the other boys have said we had great times in the shed and so many other places in our younger days
Condolences to all the family.

Just a few weeks ago we were chatting for an hour about the usual cricket and family mate. You never ever left me in any doubt about your love of cricket, but your love of Poss, Party and Erin shone through more than anything else. Hard to believe. Nothing but the greatest of memories.
Deepest sympathies Poss, Party, Erin and families.

Boppa McLean,
Some of the “old boys” in their previous tributes have expressed their gratitude of what you meant to us in those teenage days and I wish to add to their comments.There was indeed the color TV,the back shed pool room and the music (Ian Hunter & Paul McCartney & Wings to name a couple).You had the best Skateboard and many of us spent the evenings skateboarding down near the Swimming Pool.You played Cricket then for bloody Centrals and Football for bloody Southside however our friendship prevailed because you were a fantastic fellow and we were friends forever because of those early days and that is what mattered throughout our lives even though our lives went in somewhat different directions.Christine was also there in these early days and it goes to prove what an enduring bond you two had forever.Whenever our paths crossed post teenage days it was like yesterday “G’day Boppa” “G’day Roy” and we were always friends because we go back.Old friends for life.Those early days were priceless!
RIP “Boppa” McLean

Pete, Always with that great big smile
Sending my thoughts, prayers and love to you all,
Chris, Matt, Erin and families
Aunty Betty and Jo
Always, Love and childhood memories

Oh Pete big Dunc in Perth just called me such sad news. You will be greatly missed by many Sue and myself included, we just talked about the most amazing and great times we had attending and participating in roller hockey matches, street drags in Dandenong, (you were always chasing the elusive 10 second quarter mile in that HG)))) boxing nights across the Melbourne suburbs and that flat in Davidson Streeet haha located just 2 doors from Christine’s parents too! Such great times and laughs. Mate legends are remembered you certainly will be too! RIP……… Rob Stevens (tonna)

Still can’t quite believe it Pie, it was just a couple of weeks ago we were designing the perfect rear centre console fishing boat!
I’ll miss our top end fishing chats and treasure the memories from the trips we actually managed to do.
A massive loss for the McLean crew, you will be sadly missed

Big hugs to the family,, wish I was there xx

Pieman,
We have so many funny memories over the years we have known you. You were always so kind and generous. A true gentleman & genuine top bloke, who simply loved his family more than anything else. You will be sadly missed but never forgotten. Sending all our love to Poss, Matt & Ezzy

Pieman,
It is a pleasure to have known such a lovely, gentle and caring person. You were a genuine guy who oozed love for Poss, Matt and Erin – this was evident all the time!
Rest in peace mate.
Heaps of love and big hugs to Poss, Matt, Erin and Jo.
Love Katie xx

Condolences to the McLean family. May your sorrow be softened by warm memories of Pete.

A huge loss to our lives, the world won’t be the same without you shining in it. A generous and loving friend who always made people feel welcome and loved. Too many memories to list stretching back forever. We always knew our Chrissy was well loved and protected in your care. Can’t imagine Hotel California without you.
Rest easy Petie,
Lanbo
