Was that 'oldwo'...? 
From his signature block... Donald (TUG) Wilson R54043 Ex-WOETP Served Feb 58 TO Feb 78 CERBERUS , TOBRUK, PENGUIN , SYDNEY , CERBERUS , VENDETTA , CERBERUS, PARRAMATTA, STALWART, NIRIMBA, MELBOURNE, KUTTABUL (FMP), CERBERUS - DEE 2/78 CAAAAARLTON FOREVER!  Didn't know much about Tug, other than the fact that he'd posted on RAN Skilled Hands a total of eight times over the past six years and he came from Rockingham in WA and if I remember rightly, attended the Innaugural RAN Skilled Hands WA Smokey... Think he was a mate of Gary 'Loose-Lips' Lucev... 
VALE Tug,  rest on your oars, your voyages done...

Tug was a legend in the L branch during his time in the RAN. His close association with Bill Crossley (later Admiral Crossley) advanced L branch representation during the pay disputes of the early 70's. When the WO rank was introduced I think Tug was one of the first to obtain that rank. I drafted onto Melbourne in June 71 and Tug was the L Reg Chief. His attitute and charisma helped in making a couple on years on Melbourne more bearable. I left Melbourne in 73 and didn't run into Tug again until I returned to the West in 2001 and caught up at the WA Skilled Hands get together in 2005. I was amazed at how much he remembered about our time on the carrier, but looking back he was an amiable guy who took a lot of personal interest in those with whom he served. I am saddened by his passing, but happy that I had served with him. RIP old mate. |

I ran into Tug at a Greenies Reunion at Rockingham RSL, and again at the inaugural Skilled Hands smokey. Whilst we have not served together, we shared many mutual friends and acquaintances. He was a lovely bloke, and had serious health issues in the time I knew him. He was such an old Navy kind of guy, and a pleasure to know. I Feel poorer for his loss, but richer from having known him (albeit briefly). My funniest recollection was Lucii laying a big lip lock on him at the RANSH smokey, in front of a slightly shocked ChrisA and Jdee. Tug's comments after are unprintable. 
Caaaaaaaaarlton has lost one of it's greatest supporters.
Farewell, old mate. Rest in Peace |
