Allan Hennessy has passed on the sad news of the passing of Evelyn White, wife of Bernie White.<\/p>\n
Although I had met Evelyn on half a dozen occasions prior to Bernie\u2019s funeral I did not know her very well. She was a lovely lady who made everyone feel welcome and spoke kindly of all of the ex-OTC people that she had met over the years. She had a piano in their small apartment in the retirement village in Bankstown where they had lived prior to Bernie\u2019s health problems pre 2017. I don’t think that she had been able to play it for several years when I saw it due to her arthritis but it sparked many pleasant memories for her (any maybe even for Bernie)<\/p>\n
If any of you have a greater insight into Evelyn and her life and would like to provide a Tribute to her which can be shared with our wider membership please email it to be and I will use it in my emails and\/or on the OTVA web site. I would like to give members an insight into the woman behind the man.<\/p>\n
Bernie and Evelyn had been living with their son, Laurie and his wife, Noelene, for some time prior to Bernie\u2019s passing in June 2017. Evelyn was still living with Laurie and his wife at the time of her death.<\/p>\n
Bernie had been a great contributor to and supporter of the OTVA for many years and Evelyn was his<\/u><\/strong> greatest supporter. Evelyn was a lovely lady who will be sorely missed by her family and friends.<\/p>\n Evelyn must have missed Bernie terribly after his passing as they had been together for such a long time – life partners!<\/p>\n May She Rest In Peace<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Allan Hennessy has passed on the sad news of the passing of Evelyn White, wife of Bernie White.
