Kate posted on 'Peter and Kate Adams Bonsai' Facebook Page
"I am sorry to report that peter died suddenly, but peacefully, in his sleep last Sunday, November 24.
It was very unexpected, we had just enjoyed a marvellous visit together on Saturday and he drew a sketch of me as I sat there.
His death has been so very hard to accept, especially since we planned to leave for home together next Monday, December 2.
There will be a memorial at a later date.
Details will be advised on this page (Facebook). His ashes will come home with me soon.
I miss him so very terribly.
Kate"

Re: Peter Adams
It is sad news indeed. Peter contributed much to bonsai globally, through books, demonstrations around the world and his regular column in international bonsai magazine Bonsai Focus and of course judging and providing a prize for our Australian Native Bonsai Awards.. Ash

Re: Peter Adams
Seems like only yesterday Peter gave me some tips on a very special JBP my father gave me. All three now gone

Re: Peter Adams
Very sad news. Peter was very generous with his time and encouragement towards me and I thank him unreservedly and I personally will miss him greatly.

Re: Peter Adams
RIP
One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful
