Back

Fraser Coast Mayor George Seymour has paid tribute to Peter Olds OAM, who passed away last night.

“Our community has lost someone who inspired with his intelligence, his curiosity and his kindness. Peter Olds was someone you could chat to for hours about anything,” Cr Seymour said.

“Peter had a deep knowledge of history and engineering, which he loved to share with everyone. He was always working on something, building something and inventing something. 

“The way he lived with generosity to others and curiosity about how things worked is an inspiration to us all in how we should live our lives. 

“I spent a lot of time with Peter over the years and treasure these memories. Peter leaves a profound and lasting legacy. He will be missed.”
