From Ed Willingham:

I have been in contact with Peter Seaton over many years and have just learnt of his passing just prior to Christmas 2012 aged 92 years.

I do not have much background on Peter however I met up with him at Moree in 1969. He was the respected elderly gentleman on the initial “Collins Radio” Satellite course during the construction of Moree Earth Station.

He spent time at Doonside, Moree, Ceduna and ultimately in Head Office.

In recent years he has been living in Melbourne initially alternating between two of his stepdaughters homes until he made the decision himself to enter into a Senior Citizens facility “Milhaven Hostel” in Pakenham Victoria.

For those who knew Peter well would be aware of very keen interest in Mathematics.

Well, he was still undertaking solving Mathematics equations right up until a couple of months before hispassing when his eyes started to let him down.

I understand he had left his remains to Medical Science at one of the Melbourne universities.

May he rest in peace.

It is with deep regret that I advise of the passing of Danny Yee last Friday 4-1-2013 aged  72 after a long illness which has been reported in the Sick List of this BLOG for several weeks. Many thanks to Paul Mulcahy, Vernon Yen and others for advising of Danny’s passing.

More from Kevin O’Brien extracted from OTC Transit articles in which Danny appeared. The first is circa 1990 and the second 1992:

The following attended Danny’s funeral and the celebration of his life held afterwards at the Strathfield golf club. It was good to reminisce and relive the great times that we shared as part of the OTC family: John Eades, Robert Brand, Mani Subramani, Peter Bull, George Woloszuk, Chris Stanley, Kee Lam, Brian Travis, Paul Bewley, Peter Hewins, Bill Breeze, Ray Volpatti, Justin Richards & Norman Stagnitta.

Dear Friends,

We were very touched by your kind thoughts during Danny’s illness, and your support following his passing.

Thank you for sharing in his farewell, and also for sharing memories from the many years that you worked together at OTC.

Sincerely,

Molly, Geraldine, Roanne and Family
