* Need more info
Funeral location: TBA
Over the weeks leading up to Ron’s death, he sent out a message for all of his mates and friends to go and visit him at his home, with Audrey, at Albion Park.
Over the following weeks, many people turned up and had you not known that he was terminally ill with the Leukaemia, you just wouldn’t have thought he was sick. He was constantly talking and laughing with his friends, but sadly, the energy burned out a little too much and he became very week and eventually succumbed to the Leukaemia and left us in very quick time.
Ron was a truly lovely bloke and boss and was a pleasure to work with or for.
May the old boy be up there and forever Rest In Peace.

Graham was a Policeman pre 1980 in the Illawarra and worked at the Wollongong HWP.
He later became a Ranger with the Wollongong Council and, in 2008, developed a tumour in the brain – which was diagnosed in South Australia whilst he was on holiday down there, forcing him home and back to N.S.W.

Hey Dad
Just at work here thinking of you on Anzac Day. We had great times and memories on this important day. It will always hold a special place in my heart.
You were an inspiration to all your family and a treasured friend to me. You still form a great part of my life as I struggle with my own insecurities and decisions in my work – work that you devoted 30 years to serving the community. Combined we have given 65 years to keeping the streets safe and upholding the laws of the land.
Hoping that there is that life after death we have all believed and had faith in and that we will meet again without pain and suffering.
May God continue to look after your soul PETER.

Dear Pop
I miss the days and nights when I would pop into your place on my way home from somewhere and have a kit kat with you or bring a treat to share. I miss the jokes I used to tell that you would laugh at and I miss just talkng to you and telling you all about my success and my job and you telling me you knew so and so (you always knew someone I would be speaking about)
I miss you more than you will ever know and even when I pull up in your driveway or go to the club for dinner I still expect to see you there xx

BRUCE COUSENS
As I write,
Bruce Cousens is doing it tough in a care facility in Sydney.
Bruce Cousens was the single most important person in the establishment of the Inverell Rugby Club. His family came to Inverell in the middle of the ‘60’s and Maureen and Nigel (‘the Colt’) lived in various places around town as Bruce became a very effective Crown Prosecutor, locking up evil doers and advising and correcting many others including some rugby players.
Bruce became President of the newly reformed Inverell Rugby Union Club and, with the help of many others, began a building process both on and off the field to make Rugby a part of life in the town. With many years, executives, working bees, raffles, bus trips and wins and losses I believe that aim has been achieved.
He became Zone President during very successful Central North years, and was elected for many years to Country Rugby Union and thus Australian Rugby Union. He subsequently travelled to South Africa prior to the 1987 World Cup in Sydney where he was appointed in charge of Security for that event.
A very capable sportsman himself, he lost most of the sight in one eye from a ‘bouncer’ while playing A Grade cricket on Varley Oval. His personal rugby career included playing for Drummoyne in Sydney, Inverell when it was part of New England, and a few games when the Highlanders moved to Central Northern competition. Bruce also played Tennis and was an exceptional Squash player, although he didn’t look like one. Ask Stew Campbell, Barry Ridde or John Enchelmaier who played successively after he gave them 8 points start and the serve – just for an 18 gallon keg which was a week’s wages in those days.
Bruce was and is a n all – round ‘A grade’ bloke and I’m sure the club and all who know him wish him all the very best in a tough time.
