Obituary: Stan Simmons, 1940-2025
Of the 30 or so kaumātua who attended the weekly social and cultural events of the Rauawaawa Kaumātua Charitable Trust, Stan Simmons was by far the best dancer.
He was "the first on the dance floor to grab the ladies" at the annual Matariki dance, "he was the only gentleman capable of taking a lady around the whole room".
Stan was a quiet man, a humble man, one of faith and industry, if with a highly competitive streak when it came to sports and games.

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
