One thought on “Robert James Charles McGoogan

  • Bob Stephens

    Sad to hear of the passing of Bob McGoogan. Bob and I were in the same class during our time at the Ashfield Secondary Technical School in Sydney during the late 1950’s. We both represented the school in the cricket team, where Bob excelled as a fast bowler. I came across Bob many years later, after I joined the ACT Police…Bob was then a Constable First Class. RIP Bob. Ex-ACT Police Constable Bob Stephens No 641.
