R.I.P Peter Oakley (Geriatric1927)

[@Londieshc]

I still watch his videos. He was a lovely man and my "Internet Granddad". I love his stories and loved listening to his calming voice.

[@Ninalicious]

R.I.P to the internet grandad we miss you ❤1927-2014

[@Randomizer.gaming]

Yes R.I.P 😭

[@tenagliac]

I wrote to him also a few times and he always graciously replied. He was one of my inspiring factors also in 2006-2007. He will be missed.

[@elizabethelliott3175]

I was a subscriber of Peter's years ago and it just randomly popped into my head, "Where is he?" Thank you for your kind words about him, Myles -- well done indeed.

[@AceNichols33]

Thank you for introducing me to Peter's videos early on - I found out about him from watching you. He was a great man & he would be honored by this video. I'm sorry for your loss. Well done on this video tribute, Myles. xo, Ace #InspireOthersToInspire

[@sprocketgirl7400]

I am really sad that I never got to thank Peter for all he shared. I discovered his videos after his passing. There is nothing of finer quality on all the internet. Thank you for this great video honoring him.

[@zingyzanger]

Thank you for making this video because I would not have found out he passed otherwise. I've been a long time viewer of the him, you and many other youtubers that have been here since the beginning.

[@StrwbreFldz4evR]

I cry buckets every time I watch this! Peter was my hero. I hope I can stop the crying and just rejoice in Peter's life and legacy, soon!

[@jordanthecat]

Peter was indeed a lovely man. Thanks for posting this. I've only just today learned of his passing. I am saddened as if it has only just happened.

[@scornedbeauty]

I remember when u showed me Peters video when u first found him on youtube, and ur right its amazing how we can fall away from people we used to be close to, and not because we have fallen out , we've just not spoke enough because of life etc. R.I.P Peter Oakley x

[@OgreBanani]

I followed Peter from the very first day. I thought it was so awesome to see him on KZbin. Likewise, Myles, I have followed you since the very beginning as well. I've watched you grow and enjoyed your content. Thank you both!

[@AfterHxurs-1clan]

We will remember him always

[@theilluminati7287]

This made me cry man

[@RedBlueQuinn]

I only found out about Peter's videos recently sadly, but he seemed like a great man. I'm sure wherever he is now he's honoured by this tribute :) x

[@dcgaming9048]

Peter was amazing really he died a peaceful life I'm proud of his KZbin work

[@AwesomeEmely]

Great video Myles I do remember that video about closing the generation gap. May Peter's legacy live on.

[@Zootsings]

I've never forgotten Peter and his voice and the stories. His videos were the first I saw on KZbin. Beautiful tribute, thank you!

[@jln195399]

omg Didn't know Peter passed away!!!! Thank you for sharing.

[@metalforeveruk9457]

This is one of the most genuine heartfelt tributes I have ever seen. You didn't have to make this video - but you took the trouble to tell us all about Peter, and we are now all checking out his uploads. For sharing this, you honestly have my deepest respect Myles. Thank you.

[@ljmastertroll]

Beautiful tribute. It's my understanding that KZbin intends to delete accounts that are inactive for a time so I hope someone keeps Geriatric1927 up so future KZbinrs can be inspired by him.

[@katvlogsyeah]

I hope his family can see this and see how respected and loved he was!

[@Katest3r]

Brilliant tribute Myles. I remember that interview you did with him. He was a great man.

[@jamesacenas7141]

[@loriparker9851]

[@love4musicuk]

I never know who Peter was, but I've heard of his user name before. It's still sad to hear of a fellow KZbinr pass away. R.I.P Peter.

[@russtex]

I miss his stories!

[@jayovic]

I cant stop crying..at night cause he did a year ago rip Peter :(

[@simplequinox]

This man looked like Stan Lee, made me cry.

[@jfhburr123]

It's cool to know that someone like you, who has inspired many others to Vlog,(Including friends of mine) had a person who inspired them. I wish I'd gotten to know this man. :/

[@SirAmicVarze]

Fitting tribute. It's been a month and I still can't believe that he's gone.

[@renetto]

Thanks for sharing your story...

[@Tessietots]

Thanks for this lovely tribute. Grand Dad (as I called him) was very loved and will forever remain in our hearts.

[@kingtongl3g3nd91]

Thank you

[@enchantedshark6578]

Rest in peace my friend :'(

[@tompayne695]

Thank you for your tribute I am just now learning of his death, I thought of him today, looked him up and found this. I am surprised his death did not make news here in the US. I have followed Peter from almost day 1. Like you we communicated back and forth, not sure I saved those, with the Google changes on the Tube, I was at one time solorguy, I never posted vids but just enjoyed the Tube and Esp. Peter. I was amazed when he hit US TV. and I really enjoyed his gentle talks and enjoyed his ventures into a the choral group. Shame he will jot be posting at 100.

[@TheMightyStuvvs]

It's funny how things come around because if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have started Vlogging 3 years ago. Although I stopped for various reasons I've always come back to your channel because of what you inspired me to do. So in a respect Peter inspired me, through you. KZbin is a wonderful thing and I hope Peter's videos are kept for more new KZbinrs to be inspired by. It kind of makes me want to restart Vlogging again. RIP Peter Oakley.

[@lucysaysrelax]

A really lovely tribute. He'll always be a part of KZbin x

[@maxruehl]

I feared this might be the case when I saw that his last video was months ago. I will miss him tremendously. One can only take solace in the knowledge that the Internet enriched his world greatly, just as he enriched our lives with his stories. It's some comfort that his videos should be there for all of us for a long time to come.

[@garou1508]

He's the legend (19)27 R.I.P geriatric

[@yakacm]

All old folk are technophobes is such a sweeping statement. Granted the digital age seems such a new and shiny thing, and it has changed our lives completely in the last 10-15 years, but it's getting on for 70 years since British tea and cakes pushers Lyons first used computers to do office work. Which means there are plenty people who have worked their entire lives and now retired from IT careers, which is something that young people don't realise. Most of what is around now was first invented and thought of back in the 50's, 60's and 70's, none of it is particularly new, it's just that it was been perfected miniaturised and packed better in the last few years. The basic principles are the same as the very first fully digital machine Manchester MK1 which first ran in 1949.

[@cathynunez27]

He final video... he said is a caring loving voice I cried so much goodbye....sooooo..........goodbye

[@MollyBlueDawn]

I'm glad that you had such a great and life-changing friendship, and sad that you have lost such a friend.

[@shrewds5659]

Was a good guy. Managed to visit the 2nd place in all KZbin in 2006.

[@TheJoeyrules92]

Watched peter, basically since he started I suppose, I miss him, wish I would have met the man. However, I can say, that (I wish I saved it though) I got a letter from him on KZbin here :) I asked about girl advice when I was younger. He gave some excellent advice, not only did this man take time to read what I said, he replied with like an essay-like message, lovely. :) Miss you, gone but not forgotten, with all the cool people in HEAVEN NOW :D

[@saif_roblox762]

Nice video but it’s sad that you made a 10 minute version for more money

[@Myles]

This video isn't monetised? So you shouldn't be seeing any ads - if you are let me know and I'll flag it up with KZbin.

[@cadenburd6559]

You make this a 10 minute video shows you really don't care

[@SlimeMasterNate]

Your comment shows how ignorant you are. First the extra ad revenue + algorithm advantage (I’m almost positive) didn’t even exist back when this video was made and second, even if it did, the extra revenue comes from a mid roll ad, which wasn’t in this video, plus it is likely that this video doesn’t even have ads on it meaning that this video would only be more likely to be suggested to people by the algorithm. Which if you think about it, it would be a good thing for this man’s fans since there is no official statement on his channel other than the fact that he suggests in his last video that it might be his last. Peter Oakley never mentioned the potential of his death and it was quite easy to miss his final statement on KZbin. Potentially leaving his fans either wondering what happened to him or thinking that he chose to quit out out of wanting to; not because death was looming.
