Vale - Darryl Laurence Williams

Post by Ray Lawrence »

Just saw on the Pussers Greenies site that Darryl Laurence Williams had passed the bar on the 18/08/2021.
He was a member of the January '62 intake at Nirimba, did the first year and then transferred to general service as a greenie in January '63, eventually reaching the rank & rate of LEMC before paying off.
Another Mobi gone, fair winds and seas Darryll RIP.
Regards,
Boris

I did not know Darryl (I don't think) just as a number of others who come up in this forum.
Nonetheless it always said to hear/read of these sad events.
RIP Darryl.

I'm in the same boat, never had any dealings with Darryl, but still sad to see the passing of another MOBI.

RIP Darryl :salute1:

He was known as "Daisy" Williams, at Nirimba, I remember he came into Hut 74 on a bit of shit stirring raid, had a confrontation with Tony Mcrae and came off second best. After going to General Service, I think he did make Chief "Geenie" before paying off.
