Bob Waites Rest In Peace Pete. He skied with us for many years as part of the Moose Patrol. A group of cops who started skiing together 36 years ago.
Ben Pearson Pete was a fellow class mate (we were the last of the old 12 week classes before modified PREP) and was larger than life even during class 232.
I often laugh about the water pistol fights between towers 7 and 8 that we both took part in.
Lots of great memories of a gentleman, scallywag and a genuine great bloke.
So sorry to hear of your loss – way too young for you to go my friend.
In the words of one of our instructors – Sgt Bruce Magee – “Stand easy Trainee”, but I would add “we will take it from here”.

One man has been killed and another is fighting for life after a motorcycle crash at Bylong.

Police say just after midday yesterday a 65-year-old man was riding a motorcycle north along the Bylong Valley Way when he collided with another motorcyclist travelling in the opposite direction.

Tragically the 65-year-old died at the scene.

The 54-year-old male rider of the other bike suffered internal injuries and was airlifted to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition.

Officers from Orana Mid Western Police District attended the scene and commenced an investigation.

R.I.P. PETER MATHEWS

Yesterday, Peter was tragically killed in a two motorcycle collision near RYLSTONE, NSW whilst returning from ‘The Annual WALL 2 WALL ride’.

A Dr Keith BRENNAN was on the scene with Peter receiving Emergency care by the subject doctor and fellow members of “The Newy Crew” who tried desperately to bring him home. Unfortunately, they were unsuccessful with Peter passing away in the care of his mates…

Thoughts go out to his wife Kate & family

Please take a minute to reflect on one of our ‘Retired Members’ who was tragically killed travelling home from the Wall to Wall Ride yesterday.

Our Brother is well known to some of our COM members.

RIP Peter Mathews. I am sure all of our thoughts are with his family and friends at this very sad time.

From the NSW Police page.

About 12.10pm (Monday 16 September 2019), a 65-year-old man was riding a motorcycle north on Bylong Valley Way when he collided with another motorcyclist travelling in the opposite direction.

The 65-year-old man died at the scene; the 54-year-old male rider of the other motorbike suffered internal injuries and was airlifted to Westmead Hospital in a critical condition.

Officers from Orana Mid Western Police District attended the scene and commenced an investigation.

Police Ode

As the sun surely sets: dawn will see it arise,

for service, above self, demands its own prize.

You have fought the good fight: life’s race has been run, and peace, your reward, for eternity begun.

And we that are left, shall never forget, rest in peace friend and colleague, for the sun has now set.

We will remember.

Hasten the dawn.

Rest in peace Peter, you will be sadly missed. Condolences to Kate and family.

Michael Haller

September 25, 2019
Rest peacefully my old mate Peter. I will miss you mate and your friendship. You were a great husband, dad, son and cop. I loved working with you Pete as you never took a step backwards and had a heart like Pharlap. You always had our backs in Hunter Region SWOS and even everyday policing, especially helping you out with your multitude of important search warrants. I loved playing touch footy with you mate and we pulled the hell out a lot bigger guys in the tug -o- war at the Sydney police Olympics in 1988. You adored your beautiful wife Kate and your family. I hope they are all okay but am sure they are hurting terribly and missing you so much. Till we catch up again brother, rest well and be proud that you lived a wonderful life and was loved by all of us.
Your brother Dazza  x

Married for 57 years to Shirley.

 

Peter Smith:   The best boss anyone could ask for. Very loyal to those who worked under him. He did not tolerate the lazy ones. Very knowledgeable. Loved to play practical jokes just as much as I liked to get back at him. We did some good jobs together. The only real complaint I have was that he always avoided buying me a beer at Christmas.

From Hugh wife – Debra:

“It is with immense sadness that I tell you our beloved husband, father and grandfather Hugh Hargreave went to heaven earlier today. He was loved by all who knew him and we will miss him forever.”

Debra Hargreave

 

 

They say things come in threes. I’m not sure who ‘they’ are, but I hope they’re right! Yesterday we lost a dear dear family friend Hugh Hargreave. One of Steve’s best mates, a 2nd Dad to Jayden and one of the kindest, loving, most sincere and authentic people we have ever known. We are all better people for having known him. Our loss, is Heaven’s gain.
This is our third close death in 5 months. It feels like death is surrounding us atm. But, If there is one thing I have learned these past months , it is that death isn’t the end – but really just a doorway.
Earth isn’t our ‘forever home ‘ And Hugh was so looking forward to finally ‘really’ going home to be with Jesus and those he loved, including our Cody. (which he bragged about seeing him before Steve did❤️)
We often say Rest In Peace and for Hugh he carried that peace right to the very end of his life here on earth because he knew this wasn’t the end and he knew where he was going !
Hugh Hargreave R.I.P – Raised in Power!

REMEMBERING A WORKMATE AND FRIEND HUGHIE HARGREAVE

 

Deb, David, Mark, Nathan, Sam and Thomas. Most of the police names mentioned below met Hugh back in the early 1970s at Cabramatta. Cabramatta at that time was a small police station being about 3mtr by 3mtr square. A new station was built which was about 3 – 4 times the size of the original Call Box.  They later moved into the house, on the same block of land, which was originally a police residence.

 

Being a small police patrol, the police there became very close and a close personal bond was formed. This bond has continued from the 1970s until the present time. We all went along our individual career paths, but, most of us continued to keep in touch with each other. In July 2017, Hugh, Deb and a few of the original guys from Cabramatta flew to Alice Springs to see another one of it’s crew, Bill Espie, inducted into the Hartley Street School Museum, such is the closeness of those original Cabramatta guys.

 

Deb, David, Mark, Nathan, Sam and Thomas, your husband/dad was a great person to work and socialise with. He was a dedicated police officer, who carried out his duties in an honourable, professional manner. It was a privilege to not only know Hughie, it was an honour to be able to call him a good mate

 

The following retired police officers who worked and knew Hugh would like to be remembered by the Hargreave family.

 

Steve Packer, Peter Croucher, Ross Bates, Danny Forster, Norm Tattersall, Phil Eddes, Sue Bytheway, Mick Mott, Ken Zegiel, Greg Callander, retired Police Commissioner Ken Moroney.

 

May you Rest in Peace Hughie.

Yesterday I received a telephone call from a work mate (Peter Croucher) whom I last worked with 37 years ago. It was like we had seen each other yesterday.

I was privileged to have worked at Cabramatta when there were only 8 police. Two were aboriginal.

No one thought of anything other than respect for each other. It was an extremely busy and happy station.

I remember my first two weeks being like a baptism with fire. I attended and investigated 3 separate deaths and a fire that went to a hearing at the Coroners Court. At the end of the two weeks the boss came up to me and shook my hand and welcomed me to the station.

It was a privileged to work at this station for 7 years with an amazing group of police and two amazing commanders. They earn your respect and were the most supportive bosses I ever worked for. Trust is earned and does not come with the rank.

Peter has been researching and has now had a memorial approved for Bill Espie, who was the first aboriginal police officer to reach commissioned rank in NSW. This will be a proud moment when it is unveiled in Alice Springs where Bill was born. I am looking forward to catching up with some of the guys from the station.

It is the dedicated guys I have worked with over many years that makes my time in service such a great experience for which I am thankful. These guys at Cabramatta were amazing. We had each other’s back and were busy all the time. What an amazing time.

 

Thanks guys.

Comments
  • John Tierney Bill was a great man, there used to be a wooden statue of him behind the switch at Fairfield. I wonder if they retained it in the new station. I suspect there would not be too many cops working there that would remember him now.
  • Graham Maranda Great post Mr Hargreave !!! I came across Mr Espie in 1990 when we ventured out from the Eastern Suburbs and charged some crooks at his station (Cabramatta). What a gentleman !!!
