Peter Hardgrove Obituary, Death – Our Chairman, Peter Hardgrove, passed away earlier this afternoon following a brief battle with illness. He had been battling the illness for some time. We must break the news to you with a heavy heart that he has died away. The LCA is deeply saddened by this news. The election for Peter to serve on the LCA Board took place on January 4, 2005, and he was appointed to the role of Chairman. Up to the moment he passed away, he continued to serve in this capacity. In addition to this, Peter was presented with the achievement of the title of Life Member of the LCA.
In addition, Peter was a Director and Chairman of the Wests Tigers Rugby League Football Club, where he was awarded Life Membership in the year 2021. In this capacity, Peter was recognised for his contributions to the club. Aside from that, Peter was a member of the Wests Ashfield Men’s Golf Club for life and had previously held the position of President of the club. There was also the Wests Ashfield Ladies Golf Club, which he served as the Patron of. Additionally, he was a recipient of Life Membership and had previously served as the Chairman of the Western Suburbs Leagues Men’s Bowling Club. Both of these accomplishments are noteworthy.
Over the course of his thirty-year career with the police department, Peter eventually reached the point where he decided to retire from his post. As a consequence of this information, each and every member of the LCA Board and Staff is experiencing a great degree of sorrow. During this terribly trying time, we would like to express our deepest condolences and support to Peter’s children, Josh and Lauren, as well as their wives, as well as to his grandchildren, Billie and Ella, as well as to his brother John and his girlfriend, Julie Romero. We are truly sorry for the loss of your loved one.

Lee Evans Obituary, Founding Member Of Sapphire City Concert Band, Inverell, NSW Has Sadly Passed Away – Death – The world obits

Reading 2 min Published by 17.11.2023

Lee Evans Obituary, Death – The Sapphire City Concert Band in Inverell, New South Wales, Australia, is mourning the loss of Lee Evans, one of its esteemed founders and a cherished long-term member, who passed away this week. The band owes a great deal to Lee, who was instrumental in its formation in 1995 and has made several creative contributions since then.

The Sapphire City Concert Band was established out of a desire to combine a love of music with the desire to serve the people of Inverell by providing them with a source of joy and entertainment. The band’s identity and sense of togetherness owe a great deal to Lee Evans’ dedication and musical prowess, as well as to his ability to inspire the other members to give their all.

Members of the band are struggling to come to terms with the loss of a dear friend and musical partner after hearing the news of Lee’s passing, which has thrown a dismal mood over the group. His dedication to the band and his love for music have left an everlasting impression, and his legacy will be appreciated by fellow musicians, friends, and family alike. The members of the Sapphire City Concert Band would like to offer their sincere sympathies to Lee Evans’s loved ones at this time.

The band recognizes the importance he played in their development and success and will always hold fond memories of his efforts in their hearts. The Sapphire City Concert Band is dedicated to carrying on Lee Evans’ tradition of musical generosity and community building in the wake of his untimely death. Lee Evans, may you rest in peace knowing that your music will live on in the hearts of those who were lucky enough to perform beside you.

Lee Evans Obituary, Founding Member Of Sapphire City Concert Band, Inverell, NSW Has Sadly Passed Away – Death – The world obits – Breaking News in USA Today

Lee Evans Obituary, Death Cause – The Sapphire City Concert Band is mourning the loss of a cherished friend, esteemed musician, and founding member, Lee Evans. It is with heavy hearts that we reflect on Lee’s passing this week, as we remember the instrumental role he played in the formation of our band back in 1995. Lee’s enduring legacy and contributions have left an indelible mark on our musical community.

In 1995, a group of passionate musicians came together with a shared vision to create something extraordinary—the Sapphire City Concert Band. Among the visionaries was Lee Evans, whose passion for music and dedication to the community laid the foundation for what would become a vibrant and beloved musical ensemble. As a founding member, Lee’s commitment to excellence and his love for the art form set the stage for the band’s success over the years.

Lee Evans not only helped establish the Sapphire City Concert Band but remained a steadfast and beloved member throughout the band’s journey. His enduring commitment to the band and his fellow musicians was a testament to his love for music and the sense of camaraderie that defines our musical family. Lee’s presence at rehearsals, performances, and community events enriched the band’s culture and contributed to its success.

As a musician, Lee Evans brought his unique flair and skill to every performance. His passion for playing resonated through the melodies, adding depth and character to the band’s collective sound. Lee’s dedication to his craft and his ability to inspire fellow musicians were instrumental in shaping the Sapphire City Concert Band into the vibrant musical entity it is today.

The news of Lee Evans’ passing is a personal loss for every member of the Sapphire City Concert Band. Beyond the shared love for music, Lee’s warmth, humor, and genuine camaraderie created a sense of family within the band. His absence leaves a void that will be keenly felt, and we mourn the loss of a dear friend and talented musician.

To honor Lee Evans’ memory, the Sapphire City Concert Band will pay tribute to him in our upcoming performances. The music will carry echoes of his passion, and the camaraderie he fostered will be remembered fondly by every member of the band. In celebrating Lee’s life, we ensure that his musical legacy lives on, inspiring current and future generations of musicians.

The Sapphire City Concert Band extends heartfelt condolences to Lee Evans’ family and loved ones during this difficult time. We share in their grief and hope that the music he helped create brings comfort and solace. Lee’s contributions to our band and community will forever be cherished, and his spirit will continue to resonate through the music we play.

As we say goodbye to Lee Evans, we do so with gratitude for the music, friendship, and inspiration he brought to the Sapphire City Concert Band. His legacy will endure in the notes we play, the memories we share, and the continued vibrancy of the musical community he helped establish. May Lee rest in peace, surrounded by the harmonies of the music he so passionately loved.

Lea, John Honeysett replying on Andrea’s Facebook page.

I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Peter’s passing.

Spraddy was a giant of a man in every respect. In 35 years in the cops and as Peter’s Local Area Commander at Mudgee I had the honour of meeting and working with one of the best Cops you would find anywhere in the world. A very special and funny man with a generous manner. A heart of gold who cared for so many people from so many walks of life.

A true role model of what a real copper should be. We need more Peter Spradbrows out on our streets. The world would be a better place.

To this very day I consider myself so fortunate to have been extended an invitation to Spraddy’s Shed for many a famous card night.

Where else would the LAC be invited to enjoy a night with the troops and be so well accepted. I was truly blessed to have had a taste of Spraddy’s famous rabbit rissoles. I have so many fond memories of Peter’s humour and sayings.

Rest in Peace old mate. You have served your community well.

Lea and family I know you have a lot of pain at the moment but you can be well and truly proud of Peter. A great bloke and a fair and honest cop.

Rusty nail isn’t kosher

A SIX-year-old boy bit into a kosher sausage recently, only to find a rusty needle in it.

The 3.5cm needle was discovered after the child complained that something had lodged in his mouth.

The boy’s mother, who purchased the packet of sausages from Coles Supermarket at Bondi Junction, told the Australian Jewish News that she “freaked out; my son could have died if he had swallowed the needle”.

Coles media relations manager Lisa Amor confirmed that a “contamination has been reported. We believe it was introduced at store level. We’re making inquiries with our supplier, but we’ve handed the matter to the police, who will be conducting the investigation.”

Waverley Police Detective-Sergeant Paul Vallis said “both Waverley Police and the NSW Department of Public Health have taken a report of the incident and we’re monitoring the situation”.

Stephen Lewis, general manager of Melbourne’s Continental Kosher Butchers — the supplier of the sausages — said he “was loathe to make any formal statement … given the police involvement”. Nevertheless, he stressed that “the processing procedures, coupled with regular external audit inspections of the processing premises, were such that the inclusion of any foreign matter such as described simply could not have been effected in production”.

Mr Lewis said “as an official supplier to Coles Supermarkets Australia for some years, I’m confident that the company will properly investigate all matters associated with the claims, which will no doubt result in no blame being laid on Continental Kosher Butchers’ procedures”. He urged customers to “check that products are sealed when purchasing. If a consumer notices any breakage to a package, it should be handed to a Coles employee” to ensure that it is not sold.

Two found guilty on Partlic jail bashing

SYDNEY: After considering its verdict for three hours, a Sydney District Court jury found two men guilty yesterday of the savage bashing of teenage fine defaulter Jamie Partlic in Long Bay jail in November 1987.

The jury found Gary Donald Stokes, 33, of maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

He faces a maximum penalty of life imprisonment.

His co-accused, Darren Bruce Difford, 22, was found guilty of the lesser charge of maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm. He faces a maximum of seven years’ jail.

After the verdicts, Detective-Sergeant Paul Vallis told the court that Stokes was currently serving a sentence of 18 years, with a 15-year non-parole period, after pleading guilty last month to another charge of maliciously inflicting grievous bodily harm with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm.

Crown Prosecutor Chris Maxwell said that that charge had considerable relevance to the bashing of Mr Partlic. It related to an incident in Newcastle in 1986 in which Stokes bashed another man, Nick Psaltis, and jumped up and down on his head in an argument over drugs.

Stokes’s counsel, Ken Magnus, said he had lodged an appeal against the severity of that sentence.

In a brief outburst from the dock, Stokes said, “He sentenced me to 18 years because he knew about this case. That’s why I got 18 years.”

Sergeant Vallis said Difford was currently serving a sentence for breaking and entering and was due for release in June next year.

Judge Nash remanded both to appear for sentence this morning.

The Jamie Partlic case has had a far-reaching effect on the prison system in NSW, acting as the catalyst for reforms within the jail system and the abolition of jail terms for those who failed to pay fines imposed for minor offences.

Traffic offenders now have their driver’s licence or vehicle registration cancelled until they pay up. Other offenders must perform community service work.

Jamie Partlic, now 20, of Cronulla in Sydney’s south, went to Long Bay Jail on November 7, 1987, to serve four days, for non-payment of traffic fines totalling $1197.

According to witnesses at the trial, Partlic was in the fine defaulters’ yard when he was approached by Difford and Stokes, who had been working out on a punching bag nearby.

There was apparently some conversation.

Witnesses said Mr Partlic’s comments were innocuous.

Both Stokes and Difford said Mr Partlic had spat on Stokes and had been behaving like a “smart arse”.

The prosecution alleged that Difford had begun the attack and that Stokes had continued it, punching and kicking Mr Partlic, then stamping on his head as he lay on the ground. Stokes had thrown him head-first into a fire hydrant and then jumped on him again. Finally, Stokes had lifted the then unconscious Mr Partlic and thrown him headlong on to the concrete.

The savage bashing left Mr Partlic comatose for four months with severe brain damage. He is still profoundly disabled, with little prospect of a complete recovery.

Both Stokes and Difford admitted they had been drinking “jail brew” at the time.
