Simon Townsend: Pioneer of Australian Children's Television
A tribute to Simon Townsend, creator of Wonder World, celebrating his contributions to Australian children’s television and his lasting legacy.
17th May 2020 Sadly passed away peacefully at Bellingen Hospital. Late of Toormina and formerly of Sydney. Much loved son of Nigel (dec) and Toety Mary, beloved brother of Kari and much cherished uncle to Drouyn and Jason. The most kind and gentle soul anyone could ever meet; his quirky ways will be missed by many. Stephen proved courageous in his fight against bowel cancer. A true gentleman who never complained but was always thankful for all the love and support extended by his family, friends, medical and hospital staff involved in his care.
Aged 64 Years
Forever in our hearts.
Stephen’s family would like to sincerely thank the wonderful medical and nursing staff at the Bellingen Hospital and the Oncology staff at Coffs Harbour Hospital and in particular the wonderful and caring catering staff at the Bellingen Hospital. A private service was held on Friday 22nd May 2020 in the chapel of the Coffs Harbour Crematorium, Coramba Road, Karangi.
