I have just received the sad news of the passing of \u201cBill\u201d Blemings who passed away peacefully on 6th July 2014. I was advised, tonight, by his wife, Wendy.<\/p>\n
Bill will be remembered by those of us who worked at Central Operating Room, 47 York St., and at Sydney Operating Room, Spring St. during the 1947-Mid 50\u2019s era as a telegraphist.<\/p>\n
Bill, who became a very successful businessman after departing the \u201cold Salt Mines\u201d in the 50\u2019s, would have been 89 years of age on 29th July. There will be, no doubt, some of us still around who knew Bill\u00a0 and<\/b><\/em> his dad before him, Jim.<\/p>\n Sorry to be the bearer of this sad news.<\/p>\n Trevor Thatcher<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have just received the sad news of the passing of \u201cBill\u201d Blemings who passed away peacefully on 6th July 2014.
