Hi Tiny!
I am sorry to have to tell you that Jan Leach died last night, Thursday,
He was in a nursing home on the Central Coast.
Charlie Layzell and I visited him on wednesday, although he had breathing difficulties we didn't expect him to go so soon.
Would you please let any other Nirimba-ites know.
Thanks
Derek Searle

Anyone can be ordinary. Shipwrights choose to be extraordinary!

Jan was a Nirimba icon and a damn good bloke.

He will be sadly missed by family, friends and the whole Nirimba fraternity.

You did well.

BZ Jan
