Recieved this in my Email this afternoon
I personally did not know him but I think it is most appropriate that this gets posted ...60 is far too young to go

Hi All,

Just a note to let you all know that Russel Hocking, POME, passed away last week from various cancers after 6 months of suffering. Cards can be sent to his wife at 19 Hanai Cres, Banksia Beach, Bribie Isle,4507.

For those Queenslanders who can make it the funeral will be this week and you can ring 34107088 for details.

A damned good bloke gone early as he would only have just been 60. May he rest in peace.

Pat. Farrell

......................

Condolences to His wife and family

Too many dying too young, this brief note from Peter Maher...
