Peter Edney  -  We were deeply saddened to hear that our old friend Peter Edney passed away here in Bermuda on 4th July at the age of 87.  Peter was born in London, England in 1928 and as a young man he served for 4 years in the Royal Ordinance Service Corps before joining the Hampshire Police as a Constable. He served there from 1949-1955 before coming out to Bermuda to join our Police Force in 1955.  Peter served in the Bermuda Police for 8 years, and was initially posted to Hamilton Police Station, but his mechanical talents were quickly recognized and he spent most of his service in the Police Garage where he was promoted to Sergeant in 1960.  He left the Force in April 1964, and worked here locally before moving out to Australia.  After the passing of his first wife, June,  he eventually returned to Bermuda and married his second wife, Julie.  

Peter had not been well for some time.  He is survived by his wife Julie, and we understand that one of his sons, Bruce, who normally reasides in Australia, is on Island at the moment.

We send our sincere condolences to Julie and her family, and will post further details of funeral arrangements as we receive them.
