Ross (Runt) Anderson 'Greenie' JAN'72 Intake.

Image

Just noticed on the Greenie's Big Switchboard site that Runt was killed in a car accident last week (MON 08JAN18) with his wife in a critical condition. Passed out with Runt (joint last Ratstruc and 2nd Sailstruc intakes) in DEC74 and afterwards saw him often over the journey. Was a great bloke and will be sorely missed. A tragic loss when he and his wife's retirement was flourishing. Attached is the link to the newspaper article related to his passing.

Condolences to his wife, daughter, family, friends and shipmates.

Definitely far too young. Only just started the best posting of his life.
