KELAHER, Edna Margaret
Passed away peacefully on 10th July 2017, aged 91.
Beloved wife of Bryan. Much loved mother,
mother-in-law, grandmother
and great grandmother of David and Margaret and their families. Dear sister of John, Trixie (deceased), Jean and Judith.
Family and friends are warmly invited to attend a Celebration of Edna’s Life, to be held in the Chapel of Heritage Brothers Funeral Services, 43 Lower West Burleigh Road, Burleigh Heads, on TUESDAY (18th July 2017), to commence at 11.00 am.
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.

In May 1975 Frank is promoted to Inspector 3rd Class at 26 Division.
In June 1975 he is transferred back to Liverpool ( 22 Division ) as an Inspector 3rd Class.
In May 1976 Franks passes away – aged 54 whilst attached to Liverpool Police Station as the Assistant Officer ( Inspector )

It is with deep regret that I inform you of the passing of

years obligatory service. Rex served in 2 Div MP Coy and in
1970 he was seconded into the ARA as a specialist investigator

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.
