Kevin
passed away peacefully in John Flynn hospital after a short
illness, with his family at his side, on Wednesday 20th July
2011.
Kevin was a significant force after WW2 as the man that made
it possible for the grant of land from the State Government
to the Burleigh Heads RSL in 1953 and was responsible for fund
raising for the construction of the current RSL hall in 6th
Ave Burleigh. Kevin was elected Sub-Branch president in 1949
and served until the late 50's when he left the area due to
his employment. Kevin rejoined the Coolangatta/Tweed heads RSL
in 1962 and transferred back to Burleigh Heads RSL on the sub-branch's
60th Anniversary in 1999 where he remained a member until his
passing. The current members have much to thank Kevin for and
especially his determination in those early fledgling years
of the sub-branch.
Kevin tried to be an active member but due family constraints
that restricted him in many ways. The last few years Kevin's
eyesight deteriorated and he moved into a retirement home with
his dear wife Olive where she still resides.
Kevin will be missed by his wife Olive, family, friends and
members of the sub-branch that knew him
Please
try and attend to farewell a comrade and pay your last respects!
"the
time has come for rest, old soldier, your duty is done"
"Lest
We forget"
