Vale Peter Gage

It was with great sorrow that many members of Townsville community (including a large number of Townsville Senior Citizens) bade a fond farewell to Peter at his funeral service on Thursday, 24th October, 2013. 

We will remember Peter as a man who lived his life to the full, who was willing to give anything a go, and who brought a quirky sense of humour to everything he undertook.  He was very brave as he faced up to his final big challenge and he remained a loyal member of Senior Citizens right up to his last days.

Townsville Senior Citizens owes a particular debt of gratitude to Peter for his wonderful contribution to the photographic history of the Association.


Townsville Senior Citizens extend their sincere condolences to Peter's family, particularly his mother, Mrs Audrey Gage, a long time and very treasured member of the Townsville Senior Citizens Association.

The Line Dancers were very pleased to see Pat Ross (see below) learning the ropes as a Leader.  She is very patient and understanding - especially with one particular newer member who still has a long way to go and needs a lot of encouragement...
