So sorry to hear of the passing of Bob ( Blue) Walker, he was a good bloke.
Fair winds and a following sea to another of our MOBI family.

Never served with Blue in pussers but worked with him for many years in the ILS Department of the then Australian Submarine Corporation. A nice bloke.

RIP Blue.

Edit: My apologies...confused Blue Walker with Blue Newton who is still with us...

Wisdom comes with age, sometimes age comes alone.

From memory, the last time I saw 'Blue' when he dropped into our 13th Intake's 50th Reunion in Tanunda, always sad to see younger MOBIs than me crossing the bar, a nice bloke taken far too young...

Rest on your oars, 'Blue', your journey's done... VALE, R.I.P.
