From Rob McAulay:<\/p>\n

It is my sad duty to advise that Darrel Savage passed away last night, 16th June 2014.<\/p>\n

Darrel was a Professional Engineer with OTC before moving on to chase sheep around on a small farm near Mudgee. When that got too difficult for him, he returned to the Central Coast of NSW where a number of his family had moved. Only a few years ago I learned that he had been moved from his lovely home to a Nursing Home as he was not well. It was there that he passed away. Robyn and I spent many lovely mornings having “naughty” cakes and coffee in the garden adjoining his humble abode. We are deeply saddened at losing him as, we are sure, will be his scattered family.<\/p>\n

It is very saddening that such a lovely man left us so lonely.<\/p>\n

The Funeral Service will be this Friday 19th June in the Rose Room at Palmdale Crematorium (near Ourimbah) at 9AM. Afterwards arrangements are not finalised but most likely at Ourimbah RSL.<\/p>\n

There will be a formal advice of the Funeral in Daily Telegraph dated 18 June 2014.<\/p>\n

This is a photo of Darrel Savage taken on 3rd July 2013 – almost 12 month before his death.<\/p>\n

I think the OTC info regarding his service and its conclusion in 1987 is valuable. We were always uncertain about his age as he had given another age a little while ago but 82 is consistent with more recent discussions. I hope at least a small few of his former colleagues are able to attend his service.<\/p>\n
