And sadly we lose another MOBI. I well remember Peter from both NIRIMBA days and service in the Fleet. Ken Drechsler has labelled Peter Very well, that’s how we all knew him and how we will remember him.
RIP Peter

Dear All,
My dear old friend Peter Brian Holt died on the morning of Wed 31 August in the Mary Potter Hospice on Calvary Hospital, Adelaide. His struggle with mesothelioma was monumental in that from diagnosis he lasted longer than most. Whenever it looked like he was down—up he would pop. Typically he was focussed, determined, courageous, thorough, funny, grumpy and building intricate models. Same as normal, just slowly or quickly getting sicker. Peter, his family and medical team deserve great credit as his spirit remained vital till the end. He was much loved.
I have attached a cutting from The Advertiser that my brother Colin sent me on Saturday.
Please circulate this email as you deem appropriate. I apologise to those not on the list.
Regards
Ken (Snoz) Drechsler
Peter was a Chippy and was on HMAS Sydney where he completed 10 trips to Vietnam between Jan 1968 and Mar 1972.
I can't remember any close dealings with Peter, as I served with him on The Ferry, but that's more ol'timers syndrome. Sad to lose another MOBI way too soon. - BC
RIP Peter
Whilst not unexpected, knowing the long and valiant fight Pete put up, but very sad nonetheless. Ken 'Snoz' Drechsler encapsulated it very succinctly, BZ Snoz... 
Rest on your oars Pete, your journey's done... Another MOBI taken far too young... R.I.P.
