Vale Chippy Anthony (Tony) Fletcher - R43292

Post by BC »

Hello Brian,

Ken and I were advised this afternoon by Mary-Ellen, Tony’s wife of Tony’s death on Monday. He was in the mid-year intake 0f 66. He passed as the result of a stroke. His funeral will be held next Tuesday at 10:30am at their local Catholic Church, details of which we will confirm later.

Love Lorraine and Ken Brinckman xx

Tony’s Vietnam Service consisted of 4 x Vung Tau trips in HMAS Sydney in 1970/71.

Condolences to Mary-Ellen, family and friends in the sad passing of Tony. Another of our Chippies gone too soon.

RIP Tony, your watch is done. :salute1:

VALE, Tony, rest on your oars, =; your voyage is done... :happy: R.I.P. [-o<

Knew Fletch pretty well whilst at the college of knowledge. A pretty good cricketer and good all round bloke.
RIP Fletch.

Tony was 12 months ahead of me at Nirimba. Served on Sydney with him and Ken Brinkman.
Sad that another Mobi has left us
Condolences to his family and friends.
