Obituary- Peter NOWAKposted by Andy Surplice on10-01-2006
Members of British Biathle were saddened to learn of the death of Peter NOWAK, on 29/12/05 after a long battle with a serious illness. (unknowingly contracted 26 years ago when as a result of a car accident he was given blood infected with hepatitis C. It is only since 1991 that blood has been tested for this virus).
Peter was unaware that he had this virus until August 2005. At the time of his death he was awaiting a liver transplant, which sadly he did not get. He was 53 years old.
Peter gave a vast contribution to Biathle both as administrator producing excellent event programmes and as a selfless volunteer at all competitions - often taking on several roles at the same time. He could always be heard shouting encouragement to his wife and daughters as they participated. He will be greatly missed by us all. We extend our condolences to his family.
