We were saddened to hear of the passing of Peter J Mott who was always extremely proud to have attended Emanuel, following in the footsteps of both his father, Edwin Alan Mott and uncle, Graham Mott. Whilst at school Peter thoroughly enjoyed rowing and became a member of the London Rowing Club. He took a keen interest in the Royal Air force Cadets and successfully achieved his glider pilot licence.
Ironically, he was stationed at Manston (Kent) a few times during his school years, not knowing then that he would eventually end up living the rest of his life close by, in the village of Birchington.
Peter moved to Birchington in 1971, marrying Paula, and became father to his only child, Alex, in 1979.
After leaving school Peter entered the banking world and worked his entire career within the City of London. He commuted daily from Birchington working for banks such as Lloyds International, Harris Trust & Savings, Danske Bank, Bank of Western Australia, Merril Lynch and Daiwan Securities.
After moving to Kent, he coached young rowers from the King’s School in Canterbury, and enjoyed further hobbies in fishing and shooting, running a local sea fishing club and a shooting club at Bisley (Surrey).
Peter retired from working in the city at the age of 52 due to health issues and was fortunate enough to enjoy the rest of his life with family and friends, participating in his favourite past times of shooting and fishing.
