So sad to hear that your dad has left his loving family. Those deeds that he has done can never be erased and thanks for sharing you Dad with us.

A measure of mans life is not only what he has acheived or accomplished but in the quality of his children. Your father must have been a great man.

Thanks, Guys

Yesterday, I met the chaplain who will be conducting Dad's service at the RSL Village in Narrabeen, it none other but Bob Durbin, a fellow MOBI from the January 1970 intake.

Hi Bruce,

I am sorry to hear of your loss.
We are deeply affected and influenced by our parents (and particularly) our dads.
Yours has clearly had a positive influence on your life.

Sorry to hear of your loss, Bruce.

In late '42 and part of '43, my father was in the same area as yours doing convoy duty. Perhaps their ships passed by each other.
