It’s with great sadness that I read earlier today that Pete Johnson - whose wonderful creation Canada Street is - has died, most unexpectedly. I saw him at Expo only the other week so it’s something of a shock.

My condolences to all who knew him better than I did (probably just about everyone), and just to say that for my money, Canada Street is one of the finest layouts it’s ever been my privilege to see.

What a terrible shock - a wonderful modeller. Almost everything he built was an inspiration.

Seems to have been very sudden. RIP Pete.

Pete's passing has come as a real shock and I'm still trying to come to terms with it.... he was a very talented modeller and an inspiration to us all.

The next emgauge70s update in a few days time will be a tribute to his life and achievements, with all other project reports held over until the following month.

Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time. Rest in peace Pete.

Was only having a meal with him Karl Crowther Andy Ullyott and Pete's operating team on the Saturday night at Expo EM.

Not only a talented modeller but a really nice guy

Thoughts are with his family at this sad time

That's dreadful news, I'd spoken with Pete on a number of occasions over the years mainly at EXPOs and I can only agree with what's already been said above.
