Peter SIMMONDS Obituary

Hey Michelle (Shell Bells) know that I am thinking of you at this sad time. How I wish I could give you a hug and make you laugh. Fond memories of our friendship at Air NZ reservations. Keep your chin up my friend.

To Jill, Michelle, Dean, and families. Was so sorry to learn of his passing, please accept my condolences at this sad time. I had known Peter all my working life, as an NAC apprentice starting in 1964, through to the mix of roles we both had over the years. For Peter it was not just work. His active participation in in so many things, we would have to say, it was a very full life, and very well lived. You can now rest in peace Peter.

A star has fallen, but Uncle Peter will glow in my memory for as long as I live. He has been a star in my mind since I first saw him in Choo Chin Chow in 1950. It was amazing, my first visit to a theatre, and we were up in the Gods (3 or 4 levels up). We mainly saw Peter when were young but visited him on most of our visits to Christchurch. I enjoyed my visits and the rides in the fancy cars.
He will be missed but will be remembered.

Peter will be remembered forever and always with a smile. Raconteur, entertainer, performer and loving family man. So special to have known him.

So sorry Jill and family to hear of Pete's passing. We will all miss him and his stories at our luncheons. I will miss his hugs and friendly smile. Hope we will still see you at the luncheons Jill. One of Fagan's boys Jonathan Wangford sends his condolences also. Sweet rememberances from Lois Short and Rose and John Bateman.

Peter and Jill were so much a part of my childhood and teenage years growing up in Christchurch. I will never forget my time spent on stage with Peter, particularly in Fiddler on The Roof. We also appreciated the warm presense of the Simmonds when our own parents passed. Much love to the family, Stephanie Liebert , Mt Albert Auckland

Much loved Uncle Pete of Jill and Greg and adored brother of the late Elaine,
We are sure you will keep everyone entertained with all your stories wherever you are now. Keep the doorbell ringing. Xxx
