“Peter and Nathan were not only co-workers but also team mates in OHM, friends who worked together and established a formidable team.
“Two hard working young men with very bright futures ahead that formed a huge part of the OHN family and they will be sorely missed by all of us.
“From Peter’s unflappable nature to Nathan’s quick wit — it won’t be the same without you.
“Some truths in life are hard to accept, your memories will never be forgotten.”
The two men had been friends since childhood.
