Vale - Ian Wailes
Dear Colleagues,
it is my duty to inform you that our friend and ship mate Ian Wailes
has crossed the bar. Ian passed away on Tuesday evening after a
short illness. He was comforted by his wife Ruth, son Richard and
daughter Julie. Ian said at the end, "I have had a good life".
He was the President of the HMAS STUART and Scrap Iron Flotilla
Association for fifty years. Ian was a gentleman, respectful of
others and very well liked. He particularly enjoyed the company of
his ship mates. Many of us had the privilege of joining Ian and
several of his WWII veteran shipmates at the recent Scrap Iron Flotilla Association annual lunch.
Ian expressly requested a very private funeral with his immediate family only to attend.
Our thoughts are with Ruth, Richard and Julie and may the memory of Ian remain with us forever.
--

A Farewell to those with whom we served...

I have the sad duty to advise that Kimley Jon (Kim) Hickey passed away peacefully at home on 20th June in Cairns.
Kim was a Vietnam Veteran, having served in 1971 on HMAS SWAN as an LME, R96363. Kim did the Mechanician's course later in the 70's and I spent some time with him at NQEA in the late 90's on the Hydro Ships project.
Kim was a decent bloke and did his job at a million miles an hour.
His funeral will be held at the Uniting Church in Smithfield, Cairns, starting at 1:30 PM on 26th June.
Vale Kim, may you have calm seas and sunshine on your journey.

Sad to hear of Kim's passing, I served with Kim on a few postings including Nirimba, Stalwart and Cerberus. He was a pleasure to work with and I am sure he will be sadly missed by his family.
Taken far to soon. Fair winds and following seas Kim.

Jesus. I shared a house with Kim in the late 70's when he was a PO Mech on Yarra just before Yarra came out of the half life refit at CoDock.
We often say that members pass too soon.
This guy certainly fits the bill.
He was a hell of a guy and a true white man.
We were messmates when Barry Irons was Pres of the Mess. Barry also crossed the bar recently.
Sad days indeed... Vale Mate, my thoughts are with your family.

Jimmyc, known to most as Blue or just Jim, is listed on the Pussers Greenies web site as having left for the Big Switchboard on the 12 of August 2012, the obituary in the Canberra Times on the 15 of August notes his funeral was held on the 17 of August.
Knew Jim when he was on Mandang and I was on Lae in PNG, had a couple of chats with him recently about that time.
Smooth seas, blue skies and fair winds Jim, my condolences to his family.

I regret to advise that David Ramsay died suddenly on the evening of 4 September while attending the current Ministerial talks in Jakarta as an advisor – he was working with the AusAID program. He is survived by his wife and two sons.
Captain DJ Ramsay RAN (rtd), son of the late Commodore Sir James, served as a junior officer in BRISBANE 1970-1971, including the second gunline deployment, before joining the Fleet Air Arm where he was an A4 pilot.
Later he was commissioning XO of SUCCESS and subsequently CO. In the latter part of his career, he served as Naval Attaché in Jakarta and hence following his retirement from the Service he continued working with Indonesia.
As one of his yearmates, I mourn his loss – a fine man who has left us at too young an age (64).
