Vale Stephen Thomas HUDSON R43403

Post by BC »

It is my sad duty to info everyone that Steve passed away suddenly last Monday.

Stephen joined Nirimba in Jan 67 as part of the 22nd Intake and was a Naval Shipwright.

His partner Madeleine emailed me the following:

Brian,

Am sending this email to let you know that Stephen passed away very suddenly on Monday. Am completely devastated and struggling with all the formalities. Have lots of family support but it is very hard. The funeral will be on Thursday 5th Nov at 11.00am at Mollymook SLSC so Stephen can be looking out to sea. It will not be a religious ceremony but hopefully a celebration of his life and the wonderful person he was.

Could you please pass the news on to the rest of the gang.

There will be funeral notices in the Canberra Times and local Bega and Ulladulla papers, also Brisbane Courier Mail.

It would help me if you could email me a brief synopsis of Stephen's navy life and any stories that we could include in the eulogy.

I will check my emails morning and night.

Madeleine


RIP Steve and rest your oars. :salute1:

If anyone has any stories about serving with Steve in the fleet, establishments and sporting arenas, that will help Madeleine, please post them here or PM them to me and I will pass them on.

Rest on your oars Steve. Remember you from Nirimba as an excellent Rugby player. A bloody big winger. My condolences to your family.

Steve was one term ahead of me at Nirimba.
It's so sad to hear that another of that term has crossed the bar.
RIP Steve

Jerry Marsden and Greg McTernan have announced that they will be attending, in uniform with medals, at Steve's funeral.

Jerry has also offered to say the Naval Ode during Steve's service.

To which Madeleine and families have accepted, and the Naval Ode will be included in the service booklet.

That will be a nice tribute.
