Rest in Peace Ian Forbes
Posted 14th October 2017
Dear Members,
We are writing to let you know the sad news of the passing of our father, Ian Forbes, who died suddenly on Thursday, 12th October in the morning. He went very quickly, so quickly in fact that he still had his notes for the Council meeting in his OWA folder under his arm and that was probably to be expected as the club was such a big part of his life. He was always honoured to be the Association Life President and spoke of little else even when away from the club, most of his closest friends were from the club and we used to go for our holidays with a dozen families from the club when we were young.
We are staying close to our mother, and as a family, at present as he was a big part of all our lives. We await the cause of death and then we will sort out his cremation and drinks to celebrate his life at the club and we will publish dates and times so all can come and pay their last respects.
We’re worried he might explode near a naked flame, but let’s see how it goes.
Alex, Doug, Stu and the Forbes Family
