Peter was born in Leicester and took up the family

business started by his father on St. Andrews Road,

Leicester repairing / selling Televisions. The family

shop was well known in the area. Peter eventually

moved to larger premises at 461 Saffron Lane,

Leicester. The business was later sold to Kembles.

Lords Electrical now own the shop at 461.		   Peter Derek Luckcuck as a baby

In 1971, Peter was turning his hand to PMRs (Personal Mobile Radios) and recognised the growing need for radios required by taxi firms within Leciester. It was in the same year that he met my mother Christine Mary Luckcuck whom he married in 1976. By 1978, they had a child - Jonathan Peter Luckcuck (myself) born 5th August 8 lb and 13 oz at 2.40pm. I was to be my father's only child.
 
After a little over 10 years in the PMR business providing and servicing most of the taxi firms within Leicester, Peter suffered a stroke and sold his business to Consam and retire early in 1986. Peter took up many hobbies during his retirement including building and flying model aircraft, photography, model railways - and looking after me.


In 1993, Peter wanted to get back to his roots and joined Charnwood Communications and later LMR (Leicester Mobile Radio) to get back into the PMR game - which he enjoyed immensely. He remained there for a few years.

In June 2003, Peter suffered another stroke which affected his right side. After a

couple of months Peter managed to get back to full form and was back driving and

decorating the house. Sadly at 5.10pm 14th October 2003, Peter suffered another

stroke at home. At 0.20am 15th October 2003, Peter died in the Leicester Royal

Infirmary in the MAU (Medical Assesment Unit).
