From Dave MORRIS:

With regret I can let all his mates know, that Bob Allgood slipped away on Saturday night (28/11) at home, surrounded by family after a long battle with the rotten cancer.

His wife, Wendy just rang to let me know. There has been a private family celebration of Bobs’ life, and at his request there will be no other service.

Bob is remembered, by some, for his VW Beetle ( that he owned ) with DOG number plates.

Paul Winfield

Sad news to hear of Swoopey’s passing. Worked with Bob from 73 -76 at NTH Syd. A few trips to Bathurst was always a great week away.

Did a wide load with Bob out in NSW, he went outside from the motel and came back with a rock. “ What’s the rock for Swoopey?” He told me he always took a rock from wherever he went and took it home for his wife. Little things that we do. RIP Bob, thanks for your service and training you gave me.

Garry Stillaway

RIP Bobby. It was a pleasure to have you as my boss at 16 Division. Remember the nights you would come & find Chris Berry & myself with our tea set up on the bonnet whilst performing radar duty on Mona Vale Road. You always found us Swoopey. Gone but not forgotten. Say hello to grumpy. Two of the best bosses you could ever hope to have. Thank you for your service.

Nothing further, than what is recorded above, is known about this man at the time of publication.

Mal Unicomb

RIP Bobby. Worked with him at the Daceyville section in the 70’s. Remember his number plate was DOG ??? And he often came out to find a picture of a dog stuck over his number plate. A great Sergeant to work under.

Mark Jones

Back in my early days Constables no class, usually only drove an unmarked car when in company with a senior man.

I went down to 29 Div thinking just that. 2 marked cars and 2 unmarked..1 was radar car, the other a patrol car.

Bob Allgood was the Sgt..I started working 5am to 1p shifts..to catch the speeders in the early mornings.

Going up Pittwater road heading for work…Warriewood straight was the place to nail em if not before..within 2 weeks Allgood promoted me to unmarked car status..his thinking if I could nail that many in a marked car. I would be deadly in an unmarked one.

Death of a Police Officer.

A CRIMEAN VETERAN.

WEST MAITLAND, Tuesday.— Sergeant Josiah Vizzard, aged 62 years, died at Morpeth yesterday after a brief illness.

The deceased, after having served 30 years in the N.S.W. police force, retired recently on a pension.

The sergeant served in the Crimean War, and fought in the battles of Alma, lnkerman, and Sebastopol, with the Grenadier Guards, for which he received medals.

He afterwards went to Canada as instructor to the military for a number of years.

He was stationed at Wagga Wagga, Copeland, Lambton, and latterly he has been at Mulburing, in this district.

Maitland Weekly Mercury (NSW : 1894 – 1931), Saturday 26 September 1896, page 4

Local News of the Week.

Death of a Crimean Veteran. — Sergeant Josiah P. Vizzard, late of Mulbring, died at Morpeth on Monday, after a brief illness, of pneumonia.

He leaves a wife and five children ( four sons and one daughter ), all grown up.

The death is surrounded with painful associations, for Sergeant Vizzard, after serving over thirty years in the service of the colony, only retired on a well-deserved pension at the beginning of April last.

Lately he proceeded to Morpeth, and purchased a house with the object of spending the declining days of his life in a peaceful manner.

He was in Morpeth making arrangements about the removal of his family when his death occurred.

He was sixty-two years of age.

Sergeant Vizzard had the distinction of having served in the Imperial army through the Crimean War.

In the ranks of the Grenadier Guards he was present at the engagements of Alma and Inkerman, and at the siege of Sebastapol, and he held the Crimea and Turkish medals.

He was afterwards sent to Canada as instructor to the military.

When he joined the New South Wales police force he acted as sergeant instructor at the depot for some time, under Captain Clancy.

He was afterwards in charge of various stations. In each of the places in which he was stationed, Sergeant Vizzard was greatly respected, especially among the better class of the community.

Having served in the hospital army corps he was possessed of considerable surgical and medical knowledge, and this proved of great value in the small country towns to which he was appointed.

His death, so soon after retirement on a pension, throws upon it a certain element of sadness, apart from other considerations.

It is somewhat remarkable that since July there have been no less than nine deaths among pensioners from the police force.

John was working at the Police Recruitment Office, Police HQ in 1954 when his brother, Don Avery ( NSWPF # 7893 ), applied to join the NSWPF.

After transferring to, and working from, Bega Police Station, John left the employ of NSWPF ( Resigned / Retired ? ) and then became an Insurance Broker in late 1970s, or possibly early 1980s and later moved to Griffith, NSW.

Survived by his wife Noreen, and children Christoper, Alison, and Joanne, 5 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.

Noreen subsequently died in Griffith in June 2018.

Her memorial service was 13 June 2018 at Griffith Ex Servicemans Club following private cremation.

…The Eulogy for John Edward Avery…
Welcomed into the world on 22nd January, 1936, in Chatswood,
NSW, John Edward Avery was the youngest child born to Francis
Daniel and May Columbia Avery (nee Barnes). There was Joan,
Edna, Don, Frank and John and John is now survived by his brother,
Don. Their father’s occupation was given as a “coal
lumper”…….
…A family friend, Alan Elworthy, to commence the Eulogy…
************
…Memories of John from his grandchildren…
************
John has had heart problems for many years. At the age of forty-
seven, he underwent quintuple by-pass surgery and then thirty years
later had a triple by-pass operation. John was one of those people
very attuned to his physical health and he managed his health
problems very well. His outlook was always positive, modest, stoical
and he never told anyone of any problems he had or suffered with.
Towards midday, on Tuesday, nine days ago, John realised that he
had a problem and so he called the ambulance to take him to the
Gosford District Hospital. Sadly, in spite of the best efforts of the
medicos, he was not able to recover and it was there at Gosford, John
Edward Avery, aged seventy-nine years, very suddenly and un-
expectedly departed this life on Wednesday, 18th March, 2015.
He will be very sadly missed by all those who knew and loved him. It
is a great debt we owe to men like John Avery for he was a man who
volunteered and was prepared to sacrifice his life in the military
services of this country. John also good and faithfully served the
citizens of NSW in the NSW Police Force for a period of sixteen years.

John was also one of those people who managed other people very well, for he was very, very organised with everybody and that included his family. It is his family who declare that John liked to do things his way.

Having said that though, John liked people, appreciated them and he was always quick to acknowledge those who had achieved something positive or good or performed admirably.

Those sorts of attributes are absolutely necessary to anyone with John’s aptitude for volunteering to do things for his fellow-man and society.

As an ex-president of two country Lions’ Clubs, a Life Member of the Sydney Adventist Hospital, a former Probus Club member, as well as being the current president of Terrigal Senior Citizens Association, John was always volunteering for something.

He was one of those people who was always busy, he could not sit still nor stop his mind from working, generally for the betterment of others.

John thought quietly and acted frankly, without fear or favour and, his penchant for organisation helped him to achieve what he wanted and better outcomes for the various organisations he supported. I am told that paperwork has been instituted more than twelve months ago, of which John was completely unaware, seeking to invest him with an Order of Australia Medal for his services to the community.

There is a saying, “we should build bridges, not barricades, stepping stones, not stumbling blocks.” John really did that and he didn’t do it in a serious or grim manner either.

He was known for his jokes or story-telling ability and John liked to laugh.

John also enjoyed travelling and, throughout his life, has been just about everywhere on this planet. More recently, he had discovered ocean cruising and had only returned from one such adventure, a couple of days before his passing. Above all else, the love of John’s life was his wife Noreen and he was a beloved husband of fifty-seven years, a much-loved and proud father of three, an adored and proud grandfather of five and great- grandfather of two, as well as a loved brother and a good friend.

His work here is now done.

May he rest in peace.

Still carrying a torch for the Games

Date: 25/01/2000

By ANTHONY DENNIS

A torch aloft. A flickering flame. A solitary runner. For an Olympic movement that has done its level best to dishonour its own stature, what does it say about such an event where three simple symbols can convey as much meaning and emotion as a gold medal?

Since its successful candidature, nearly seven years ago, the 2000 Olympics have been Sydney’s Games. The lighting of the flame in Olympia, Greece, on May 12 will be the single act which converts the Games into a truly national event and celebration of nationhood. Sydney’s Games will, hopefully, become Australia’s Games.

It will be a chance for Sydney, a city that in recent years had become somewhat self-obsessed to the exclusion of the other 15 million Australians – remember them? – to reach out to the rest of the nation.

It will be a rare opportunity, too, for the city to engage with the country and vice-a-versa.

So the torch relay is one of those unique sporting events that manage to surpass sport itself. But, above all, it will be a chance for ordinary Australians to prove how extraordinary they can be.

Nearly four years ago, ordinary Americans took part in the torch relay as it passed through the United States on its way to Atlanta.

The expressions on their faces were a contrast to some of the gold-medal-winning athletes, whose faces were often a portrait of arrogance and domination, especially on the running track where the Olympics go onto what is near enough to a war-footing.

Once participation was enough. Now winning is all. Even the IOC’s elaborate advertising campaign refers to the belief that you don’t win silver, you lose gold.

But the torch relay may be a vestige of the more traditional values of the Games in which participation was paramount.

There is an honesty about the relay that seems to have been lost from the broader event.

Now it’s the turn of Australians like Mr Gordon George Avery, of Bulli, named today as a 2000 torch-bearer. Mr Avery, who turns 75 on February 11, won silver at the 1948 London Olympics in the triple jump.

His thoughts typify the spirit of the relay and the old values of the Games: “The Olympic torch for me is the symbol of the Olympic Games. If you have ever been an Olympian and competed against all these people from other nations you can understand why an Olympian feels like he does.

“We feel like we understand the rest of the world, because we’ve lived and competed on a level playing field with all nations. Often they’re our very best friends without a thought of race, colour or creed.”

John Konrads, an extraordinary Australian whom no ordinary Australian could begrudge carrying the torch, agrees. “The torch is one of the very important elements … it brings the Olympics back to its origins in ancient Greece and relays that heritage to the current Olympic city,” said the 57-year-old who won gold in the 1500m freestyle at the 1960 Rome Games.

“It brings back very fond memories of other Olympic ceremonies I have attended. I will be very proud when I am running with the torch, which will be a permanent souvenir to keep as a family heirloom.”

The organisers like to describe the torch relay as the real start of the Games, but they’re saying so with a degree of desperation now.

The start of the relay can’t come a moment too soon for the IOC and SOCOG, eager to galvanise a jaundiced world and host nation in support of the Olympics.

Even a cynic studying the torch relay’s route around the continent would have to concede that it is brilliantly conceived. It’s a retirees’ blueprint for the ultimate round-Australia trip.

Keep the map. A few of us may choose to use it one day – Mount Isa to Mount Kosciuszko, Broome to Byron Bay, Darwin to Dubbo.

The torch relay is one of the few creations of Nazi Germany that the civilised world has not rejected. Not even the residue of hatred and bitterness from a world war was sufficient for London to abandon the relay at the 1948 Olympics.
