Cranky old bugger on the outside but a lovely man when you got to know him. Spent a very enjoyable Xmas with him at Bob Stark at Mossman Police Station one year. Went to a prang with party hats instead of Police hats, caused a riot of laughter with them all….told em to piss off and go home…

Death was advertised in the Canberra Times on 16 September 1998 and Sydney Morning Herald on 12 September 1998.
No further details are known about this man or his death – other than he died not long after retirement.
Further information is sought.
