Oh boy. Harry and I were born 5 days apart, went to school together at Raymond Terrace High and both applied to join Nirimba in July 1962. I was lucky, but Harry missed out, so he reapplied for January 1963 and got in. We were young kids in school with a desire to join the Navy and he was one guy I didn't shit stir in second term. Unfortunately we didn't keep in touch after pussers, I only caught up with him and Lorraine once or twice. Rest easy old mate, not sure I can make your funeral, but I will definately be thinking of you and Lorraine on Monday.

Condolences to Lorraine. I had the good fortune to be one of his Chippie instructors at HMAS Nirimba (up to its closure). Not only was he a true gentleman but one of the finest craftsmen I have had the pleasure to work with. |
