Vale Peter Voss 5/8/41– 4/9/17 (by Veronica Lyons) Born in Hobart Peter attended Glenorchy Primary and Hobart High School.
He became a French teacher, teaching at Oatlands High School and spending time in Canada before returning to Australia and living on a small farm at Murrum- bateman, near Canberra.
In 1982 the family moved to Tasmania and Peter became a teacher at Scotch Oakburn College, teaching French, German and Indonesian. He took biennial trips to France with his students. He also produced, and took photos for, the school Pictured—Peter playing at the Lufra magazine and was coach of the school soccer team. Music was always important with his interest starting when, as a young boy, he saw the Salvation Army band and followed them around the streets of Hobart. He played tenor sax and vibraphone as well as piano. He played on three albums with his ACT band, The Fortified Few and on returning to Tasmania played with the Jazzmanians. He attended many Suncoast Jazz Festivals, and played for the LJC from 1989. He was very involved with the Red Cross, the Cancer Council and Relay For Life and Médécin Sans Frontières, and a passionate supporter of Haw- thorn Football Club. A service was held on 14 September 2017 at the Penquite War Service Memorial Chapel at Scotch Oakburn College, Launceston. At the end of the service Peter’s friends Bruce Gourlay, Elvern King, Paul Furniss, John Pearce and Bruce Innocent played a moving rendition of What A Differ- ence A Day Makes.
