SUBSAFE: Eternal Patrol - CPOMTPSM Tom Duncan

The following has been received from CMDR Tony Vine who joined with Tom at Nirimba:

It is with great sadness that I must inform you that Tom Duncan died peacefully this morning after
a long battle with cancer. Tom slipped away with his wife Janet at his side and is now at rest.

Tom's funeral is this Friday 9am at Pine Grove memorial crematorium (North Chapel) at Minchinbury.

The address is Kingston Street Minchinbury, off the Great Western Highway.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Janet, his daughters and grandkids.
