Poetic Obituaries: [Jon Oxendale] made his own puppets

and his Little Theatre of Fantoccini had more than 70 performing marionettes including kings, queens, historical and fictional characters.

Jon offered a wide variety of shows with a difference. There were poems for children and adults that could be funny, deep and shallow.

I knew Jon from Drama College in the 70's... and shared a flat with him for a year!
I was saddened to hear of his passing and my condolences to all who knew him.
