Sadly we have lost another of our original (Jul 56) entry MOBIs.

Ken passed away 27/28 July from complications with Parkinson’s and Asbestos related diseases.

From my early days at NIRIMBA, Ken was certainly a young man to be looked up to and later became a well-respected Engine Room Artificer.

Ken’s Funeral will be streamed and these details will be advised when they come to hand.

Regards

Bob Mummery


His Vietnam Service included 10 x Trips in HMAS Sydney from 1965 to 1968.

RIP Ken, another pioneer MOBI gone. :salute1:

Unfortunately we are running out of the "first termers". I still remember their 60th reunion, they all looked pretty good.

Not sure if the notorious 13th Intake will be able to have our 60th, due to this piss ant virus.

Fair winds Ken.

Yes Ned..... we sure will run out of "first termers" one day however we are not giving up just yet.
We still have 1 of us who is 82 and 21 who are 81 that I know of.
We keep in touch regularly and I did have a get together organised for the 11th of July at Rainbow Bay to cellebrate our 65th but sadly had to cancel.

Wish good luck and health to all those who came behind us.
