Laurie McIllree has advised the following:<\/p>\n

I received a phone call\u00a0from Christopher Beaumont tonight (17 May 2021) sadly informing me that Ross Beaumont passed away last night or early this morning at his home.<\/p>\n

Details of the funeral service for Ross will be communicated once we are advised.<\/p>\n

Ross’s professional expertise, with his vast knowledge of radio engineering science, was what all of us who worked with him will remember. Whenever we had a technical problem that seemed too difficult for us to resolve, it was time to call for Ross’s help.<\/p>\n

Below is a MS&RS work photo of Ross Beaumont taken in 1998 wearing his Telstra pager<\/p>\n

Also another of Ross pointing out a cave he first discovered as a boy, on the Lane Cove River, after spotting it from his canoe. It was part of our Great North Walks. This cave was believed to be lived in during the Great Depression. The groove was cut to collect water & Ross said it was originally sealed with bitumen.<\/p>\n
