John Kaehler has advised that former Shipwright 1st Class, and winner of the Governor Generals prize on graduation from MOBILAND, passed away in the morning of 4 June following a long battle with Cancer. Eric's wife, Heather will advise funeral arrangements when available.

And so we lose another MOBI, one who was professionally and socially well respected by all.

Regards

Bob Mummery


Another from the very early days. Condolences to his family and friends.

RIP Eric

Jeeeez... You'd have thought 'Huey' would have enough Chippies 'up there' by now...

I never served with Eric, but he was a Chippy, so he must have been an alright sorta bloke...


Another MOBI taken too soon... Rest on your oars, Eric, your journey's done... R.I.P.
