Bernie,Rick John [JG] Grelck passed away in his sleep this morning. I spent some time with his wife Marlene this evening and she wished for me to pass on the sad news to AATTV and 7RAR. I do not have any info on the contact there but assume that you will have them on your net. Can you pass on the news to all concerned. I will keep you posted as to funeral arrangements.At the time of his death he had no apparent illness so at this stage no death certificate can be issued until an autopsy is performed.I would think that a funeral would not take place until early next week.

"Crazy Horse" David HITCHINS will be cremated at Beresfield, Crematorium,(just off the end of the F3 near Newcastle) following a service commencing at 10.30.(Please arrange to be there by 1000 for the meet and greet) on THURSDAY 27th January 2011. Following the service,the family have invited all those attending, to attend Dave's "wake" at Karuah RSL, about 20 minutes up the Pacific Highway near Williamtown. Arrangements will be published in Fridays Newcastle paper (Herald I think) and a WA paper. A RAAF Padre from Williamtown will be officiating at the service. The family will start the Eulogy, but any of our members who wish, may say a few words , but let me know if you would like to be included,so that we can have the names in the handout, and they request we limit it to just a few minutes each, with a maximum of 4 speakers from the 36 Squadron era, PLUS, they would like it light hearted and humorous.I'll probably say a quick burst about how we ended up with "Sure" as our motto. The Association will be providing a wreath on behalf of ALL our members, and a "table runner", which will carry the squadron crest and Dave's photo, so all who attend can sign, and it will be presented to the family, (daughters Jenny and Robyn) after the service. Dave apparently didn't like the RSL, so they won't be in attendance,but Colleen and I will provide sprigs of Rosemary for those who wish to say a final "goodbye" to Dave, and place them on his coffin. I'm sure Dave would like to look down on us dressed "smart casual", with medals optional of course.(or as he told me when he sent me off to Canberra for lunch with the GG,"Get rid of those pointy toed shoes, stovepipe trousers and narrow tie..AND, have a haircut!". Thanks to Harvie Ritchie, who has advised a lot of others not on my list, and I've informed Jockey Fordyce and Harry Leslie. Thank you all, Cheers, Rags (I've had a guess that this is the veteran - Terry Fogarty)

RASIGS - Very Seriously Ill 17607 WO1 (ret) Ernest Francis (Ernie) Blocksidge 103 Sig Sqn Vietnam http://www.vietnamroll.gov.au/VeteranDetails.aspx?VeteranId=1258262
Our mate Ernie is on life support in the Intensive Care Unit of Redcliffe Public Hospital, (South East Queensland). The situation will be reviewed on Monday morning and a decision made as to what direction to take; the prognosis is not good.
Many will remember that when Ernie retired from the Army, he took a job with Queensland Motorways as a toll-booth collector on the Gateway Bridge which is the major Brisbane River crossing; he retired from this job some years ago when the toll-booths closed the tolls became automatic.
Messages of support may be made to:
Mrs Chris Blocksidge 284 Victoria Ave Kippa Ring QLD 4021 P 07 3885 7573 M None E None (Even though Ernie was a STT, he was Techno-Phobic!)
or
Email me and I will collate responses and present them to Chris.
Please ensure you include your full name, address and phone number because I am sure that Chris will wish to thank you later when the situation is finalised.
Chris, Ernie’s second wife of over 30 years, is an American Vietnam veteran in her own right (a transport driver, if I remember correctly).
Chris is receiving support from Ernie’s daughter from his first marriage and her family.
Pat Twynam-Perkins (who herself was widowed only two months ago when Allan {Two-Fathers or Diesel} passed away suddenly) and her daughter, Angela, have flown in from Tasmania to comfort and support Chris.
Julie and I visited Chris last Wednesday and (yesterday) Saturday. We took the T-P’s to Mass and dinner on Saturday night whilst Chris was with Ernie; Chris declined our offer of Mass and dinner because she wished more time with Ernie.
Chris has also been in contact with other old Army friends.
Contrary to earlier information (and we ourselves believed this until only three months ago), Ernie and Chris did NOT sell their home and move to Perth and drop off the radar. We were pleased that they re-established contact with us.
Julie and I will keep in contact with Chris, both by phone and in person, and keep our network advised.
Regards Ted

---------- Hi All,
Had a call from Marilyn Brazel just now and John passed away today.
He had been home for a few weeks but in the end deteriorated quickly.
She has no funeral arrangements at this stage as they have a son in U.S. who is on his way home. She suggested it'll be after Christmas.
Johno could you let Ted know and condolences could be sent to Marilyn at 9 Lentara Court, Magill SA 5072.
Marilyn is going to ring Pete Radford but if anyone knows anyone who would like to know could they do so.
Another reality check for us in our 60's.
I don't know about you but I'm going to get a glass of red and remember the best Croweater I ever met.
Regards to all,
Bernie

Just this now received news that 1201597 David James (DJ) Gourley, passed away last night at home in Brisbane. DJ has been battling ill health for quite a while now, but in the last month made a big effort to travel to Victoria to give away one of his two daughters.

DJ served with 9RAR (Aslt-Pnr Pl) in Adelaide, SVN & Brisbane, 1 RAR & 6RAR in Malaysia & Singapore and several other units during his military career. Funeral arrangements will be advised when known. Please distribute widely as you see fit ........ RIP DJ !

From the 3 RAR Corporation sad news on the passing of Charles Peter WESLEY AKA Doc: Dear Alexander I'm emailing you to sadly advise you of the passing away yesterday 9/12/10 in a Nursing Home in N.S.W. of Charles Peter WESLEY affectionately known as Doc. His Daughter Ann phoned me this morning with the sad news, I was in contact with him almost every second day by phone and I could hear by the sound of his voice that he was going downhill fast. I served with him when he was doing his second term in Korea 52/53 and helped him carry out a number of the wounded that he treated in the front line. He was a good Soldier and never did the wrong thing to anybody. I like many, will miss a very good friend. Would you please notify members of your Association of his passing.
