My Deepest Sympathies to Christopher and family
Barry aka ” The Mukhtar of Corrimal ” was a great friend of mine and we shared good times with he and Margaret at the Cyprus Reunions. I was stationed at Wollongong and Warilla but am now living in Adelaide.

I ( Ron Alexander ) worked with Bruce at the North Sydney Highway Patrol (1984 – 1987).  In 1985, Bruce and I were selected to participate in the development of a trial (4 day) Anti-Terrorist driving course at the Police Driving School, St. Ives, as the Highway Patrol was used for mobile security details.  The powers to be wanted to provide a higher level of protection for visiting Heads of State and NSW Governor.

Bruce was diagnosed with cancer sometime after that and later transferred to Engadine HWP.  I understand that Bruce continued to work through his treatment, until he could no longer perform his duties, due to the illness.

 

When Bruce was on Roster, everyone wanted to work with him.

Bruce had an infectious smile, causing all who saw it to smile back.  He was a loyal colleague and his word was his bond.

It was a sad day when he passed.  His wife Judith Louise SPADARO only recently passed away, July 2017.

 

 

Kind regards,

Unable to find Phil ( Snr ) in the 1979 ‘Stud Book’, so I assume that he resigned / retired from NSWPF prior to 1979.

Phil is the father of two former members of NSWPF – Phil ( Jnr ) and Linda ( Turner ).

We wish Phil, Linda and their families our deepest condolences on the loss of their father.

Aged 79 Years

It is with deep regret that I inform you of the passing of
2137592 CAPT Rex James Anderson
on Thursday 27 July 2017.

Rex was called up for National Service in the late 1950’s and
after his initial training was enlisted into the CMF for two
years obligatory service. Rex served in 2 Div MP Coy and in
1970 he was seconded into the ARA as a specialist investigator
with the then SIB. Rex was sent to Vietnam with the SIB on
3 Dec 1970 till 2 Dec 1971. At the end of his secondment, Rex
returned to the NSW Police Force where he served until his
retirement as a Superintendent. Rex was a staunch member
of the MPAA and a strong supporter.

Rex was a thorough gentleman who was always willing to nurture,
advise and guide young investigators and to lend a helping hand
wherever required. He will be sadly missed.

LEST WE FORGET
