I remember POC who was doing brekky on KZ in 1979 - I was doing mid dawns - we were all hired by Rhett Walker. He was always friendly, down to earth and it was such a pleasure to announce 'coming up after 5, POC.' You could tell when he opened that mic for the first time after 5 how much he loved doing brekky on KZ. He was super supportive to us up and coming announcers. RIP Peter, you were amazing.
That was a great read KJ thanks.
I had a lot of laughs with Pete and you'll recall you were present for most of em! (I met Pete, along with KJ and Jeff Thomas, as they shared an apartment in Carlton in 86).
As a kid in the 70s I'd listen to him on KZ and think this guys a music jock and I'm peeing myself laughing. What's going on? Did Peter Harrison have a viable competitor? Indeed he did. Both Petes heavily influenced my decision to join the game in 1981.
Rest in Peace Poco old friend.
Kevin, beautifully written.
I never had the pleasure of working with Peter however reading all the tributes I wish I had.
Deepest sympathy to his family
