In Memory of Peter Chrystal – Management Committee Member
For more than a quarter of a century, we were privileged to have Peter serve as a devoted member on our Management Committee. Through decades of dedicated service to animals, Peter helped to guide us through many challenges. We will always remember Peter’s warm smile, charm and wit … and his unwavering commitment to our organisation.
Peter, you were unfailingly supportive of all at the Durban & Coast SPCA and have made a difference in the lives of millions of animals. We miss you.
May you rest in peace.
