Abstract:
There are some people whose passing causes scarsely a ripple of public interest, but whose achievements run deep. Such a person was Hj. Yusuf (Peter) Heaton who died in his house at Kampong Gersik, Kuching,on 17 April 2002 at the age of 56. A walking encyclopaedia of knowledge about Sarawak after a residence of thirty years, he joined that interesting band of orang puteh who were happy victims to Borneo’s attractions. During all that time he returned only once to New Zealand to see his family.
