Everyone was shocked and saddened by the tragic loss of our good friend and group leader Bob McAllister, who passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on 07 Jan 2022. Our collective condolences and best wishes were passed to his wife Lynn and family. Some group members attended his funeral on the 25th while other members gathered at North Lakes Library to view the service together, by live stream.
Although our meeting venue, Strathpine Library, was not allowing large gatherings due to the 'Covid peak', it was crucial that we get together as a group to remember Bob and discuss the way forward. We decided to meet at Pine Rivers Park again.
We remembered Bob and many of us were able to chat with his wife, Lynn, who agreed to let us post the order of service for his funeral.
Thank you Bob for generously giving us your time and expertise, for running the group virtually single-handedly, for keeping things going with Zoom meetings when Covid stopped us gathering, for inventing all those 'family history' versions of games to replace morning tea, and for everything.
