It was only fitting that Peter Jackson had a huge turnout this morning as people lined the streets of Lismore forming a 'Heart of Honour' to say farewell to a much loved man whose heart legacy will be long remembered.

The funeral procession, led by local Funeral Director Warwick Binney (who walks in front of every funeral procession), began at 9:30 along Woodlark Street, Bridge Street and finally Terania Street where the procession ended at the Wilson Street intersection. The cortege then took Peter to his final resting place where family and close friends had a private service.

Peter's coffin was adorned with hearts and as the hearse passed the crowds there was loud applause and calls of "love you Pete" and random cock-a-doodle-do's that was one of Peter's signature noises at any given moment.

There was a life goose at the Woodlark Street roundabout with a sign that read 'PROPER - GANDER', one of Peter's jokes he took to The Channon Markets.

Strangers standing next to each other were asking others how they knew Peter and were swapping stories as to how he touched their lives.

Bramani and Aliison were displaying their hearts one made by Peter. Bramani first met Peter when he sat down ad started talking to them at a cafe. Now she has a small hand made decorated metal heart as a keepsake plus a large heart that Peter made for her front gate.

Sandy Clarke works at the Lismore Base Hospital said she only met Peter twice but got the immediate feeling that "this guy was kind of special". Sandy was another recipient of two hearts, one a 5 cent piece and the other for her car.

There were motorcycle riders lining the streets giving thanks to the man that painted rings around the large potholes that mark our country roads that made their rides that much safer.

The Lismore App was told that an unidentified person has continued this tradition as potholes have been marked since Peters passing from his tragic tree felling accident.

Peter Jackson, also known as Roa Dart, will long be remembered for the love of his community and he leaves two legacies. The white marked potholes and the many hearts that were carefully made and gifted to many people throughout the 2480 community.

RIP Peter Jackson.
