Peter H. Smith (OS 1947)
The School was saddened to receive notice of the death of Old Stopfordian, Peter H. Smith (OS 1947), aged 92, in December 2020.
Mr Smith attended Stockport Grammar School from 1939 until 1943. Mr Smith was an identical twin and his brother Michael also attended Stockport Grammar School.
Mr Smith’s daughter, Gillian Howe tells us:
“They both regularly played in the cricket and football teams, and both earned their colours in Fives. They were both form captains in Year III, and someone wrote a lovely note wishing them well in the “Salvete Atque Valete” section of the 1943 edition when they left.
“We moved to Yorkshire in 1970, but returned often to the Stockport area, and Dad came back to live in Cheshire when he needed care in his late eighties. He passed away peacefully in his sleep in December 2020.”
A notice will also be placed in the next edition of the Old Stops’ Review magazine in Mr Smith’s memory.
