I received this email today

Hi All,

I heard today that ex-Chief Chippy Bob Carpenter passed away in the last few days. I understand that he was living on his own in the Mount Barker region and became ill suddenly, requiring him to be taken to the Mount Barker Hospital where they were unable to treat his condition and immediately sent him to Albany Hospital where he passed away.

Always liked Bob (15th MOBI Intake of July '63); I believe he was living something of a "hermit's" life in Mt. Barker for some years, circumstances I fear quite a number of our fellow shipmates could fall into... :roll:

VALE and fair seas Bob... [-o<

Sad to hear of Bob's passing. I shared many a run ashore and beer with Bob over the years.

A fair wind and a following seas Bob.
