Peter Alexander, of Stirling, passed away on Tuesday 21st April 2026, aged 87 years.
He was the beloved husband of Sasha for 64 years, the much loved brother of Walter, Jim, Johnny, Bill and Bob, a loving uncle to numerous nieces and nephews, a great friend and teacher to many.
A professional pianist, Peter trained in Glasgow and Italy, and toured and performed with Sasha worldwide. Having lived in Florida and London, they returned to their Scottish roots and settled in Stirling in 1988, where Peter taught music and worked as an examiner, and latterly sang with the Gargunnock Songsters.
Peter enjoyed going to concerts, the opera and the cinema. He was a talented cook and a wonderful host with a great sense of humour. He loved toast and marmalade, ready salted crisps, single malt whisky, doing The Times crossword, and wearing brightly coloured socks. He could skewer you with a dark brown stare, and win you back over with a terrifying smile. He will be deeply missed by Sasha and his family, friends and former pupils.
Peter’s funeral will take place at the Killearn Woodland Cemetery on Thursday 7th May, at 11am, followed by a funeral tea at Stirling Court Hotel from 1pm.
No flowers please, but donations if desired to Alzheimer Scotland are welcomed.
