Missing a much-loved face

A face was missing from the Anzac Day commemorations at a local hospital this year.

"We were missing a much-loved face and presence this year, Mr Douglas Simpson, who sadly passed away last year," said Brisbane Waters Private Hospital chief executive Ms Debbra Ritter.

"Douglas and his family would regularly attend our Anzac Day services and he would share stories of how he joined the Australian Navy when he was 17 and fought in World War II alongside his three brothers.

"Thank you for your service, Douglas, and we would also like to thank and acknowledge every service man and woman who paid the ultimate price for our continued freedom.

"We also recognise the many health and care workers that continue to play a significant role in support of our defence forces."

Mr Simpson's daughter, Ms Heather Wilson said: "My darling dad loved attending Anzac services with the amazing staff at the hospital.

"The services are always so beautifully done and he was thrilled to have been able to cut the Anzac cake last year."
