Dear Fellow Gunners and Friends
 
Sadly another friend of the Gunners has suddenly passed away - at only 64 years young.  Lt Col Tom Guivarra AAAvn (Retd) suffered a small stroke last Monday followed by a larger one on Wednesday.  He was admitted to the intensive care unit of St Andrew's Hospital, Brisbane and an MRI scan on Friday showed that Tom had massive brain stem damage as a result of the second stroke. The medical decision was to slow down the artificial respiration machine, and then remove it entirely.  Tom passed away last evening.
 
Tom Guivarra was well known to many Gunners because of his early career as at North Head in 1964.  Selected for flying training, he became a fixed wing pilot but never forgot his Gunner roots and would often refer to them in his very engaging witty comments when in the company of RAA members.  That common bond of camaraderie between artillery officers and Army pilots which sprang from the earliest Air OP appointments led to Tom Guivarra frequently visiting Gunner messes.  He was always an active participant in mess activities, and after separating from the service, continued this trend by being instrumental in maintaining the honorary officers' Black Tie Dinners at Victoria Barracks, Brisbane.  I am proud to class myself as an old friend of Tom Guivarra and as he comes in for short finals on that Great Landing Strip up above, I know that he will not be worried about stray artillery rounds from his other RAA mates.
 
The above medical information was received from Glen Duus (Lt Col [Retd] RAEME AAAvn) and the vale below was released by Frank Benfield, the National President of the 161 Recce Flight Association.  Glen (duus@powerup.com.au ) is willing to accept condolences on behalf of Tom's widow, Judith.
 
Vale Thomas William Guivarra - Gunner, pilot, officer and gentleman.

I write with a heavy heart to inform you and by extension your Artillery network of the sad passing of Lt Col (Retd) Tom Guivarra.  The following information, extracted from the relevant notice on the 161 Recce Flt PossumMail, you may wish to share with that RAA network because of Tom's background.
 
Thomas William Guivarra passed away at 1920hrs, Saturday 08 May.
 
19994 Thomas William Guivarra RAA, was born on 27 March 1940.  Tom served with 161 (Indep) Recce Flt in Vietnam from 22 Sep 66 until 27 Sep 67.  Tom was a fixed wing pilot who flew Cessna 180's plus a Cessna O-1 Bird  Dog on loan from the US Army.
 
Tom, Bill Davies, John White, Alan Cunningham, Chic Barron, Bob Askew, Vic Salmon, Terry Ellis and a number of other recruits began their Army careers at the School of Artillery at North Head in Sydney in early 1964.  In the same year he commenced his flying training which he completed in July 1965.
 
 
From 01 Jul 68 until 07 Jan 70 he was the fixed wing section commander in 183 (Indep) Recce Flt in PNG flying Pilatus Porter aircraft.
 
Tom and Don Cockerell completed their flying instructor training at the Central Flying School in England in 1970.  Subsequently, Tom was posted to RAAF Central Flying School as the Army liaison Officer followed by a posting to Army Aviation Centre, Oakey as the Fixed Wing Standards Officer.
 
In 1976 Tom was posted to AAS (Washington) as the SO2 Mobility and in 1978 attended Staff College at Queenscliff.
 
In 1982 Tom served with the MFO, Sinai Force, as SO2 (Air Ops), returning to Australia in 1983 to HQ 1 MD.
 
Tom was posted as CO/CI, School of Army Aviation, Oakey, from 1985 until end 1986.  During this period, he was also the PMC of the Officers Mess at Oakey.

In Dec 86 he was appointed SO1 ACCN HQ 1 MD and from that appointment he resigned in 1988.
