It is always sad to read of these events but it makes us (me anyway) think about our own mortality.
RIP John.

Sadly another member of my intake has crossed the bar.

I joined with John but sadly never had a great deal to do with him whilst at Nirimba or post Nirimba as I don't recall serving elsewhere with him and I don't recall him attending any of our reunions.

He obviously cared for the navy and did a great deal with the Nepean Blue Mountains Sub-Section of the Naval Association of Australia, and was their webmaster.
Very sad that we never caught up again.

Vale John, rest on your oars and may you have fair winds and following seas.
