Peter Langford

We have been advised that Oscar Peter Langforddied at the end of July. Peter joined the Shipping Company in the late 1940s.
For many years he was a member of the Crew Department at the Royal Albert Dock office and a familiar figure at signing-on and signing-off events where his energy and efficiency helped to overcome many procedural snags.


Peter was equally energetic as an all-round sportsman. He was frequently to be seen at the Maori Club at Worcester Park, especially as a member of the Dock Office Cricket team.
His home was in West Mersea, Essex. Peter is believed to have been about 90. He was a member of the Durham Association but not of the NZSCo Association.


Peter’s funeral is to be held at the Colchester Crematorium on the 18th August
