VALE
IAN FERGUSON
It was with a lump in his throat, that Reg Smith sadly advised us that our much respected former member of Rotary Melbourne and the Malvern Group, Ian Ferguson AM passed away on Wednesday 10 July after a long and challenging illness. Our thoughts and sympathies go out to his lifelong partner, Sandra and their family.
Ian’s Funeral Service will be this coming Wednesday 17 July at 9.30am, at the Boyd Chapel, Springvale (600 Princes Highway).
Vale Ian.
GET WELL SOON
Ross Scholes-Robertson is recovering in the Donvale Rehab hospital following elective back surgery. His surgeon is pleased with the result but Ross knows there is a long road to recovery. His wife Judy is heading to Perth for a couple of weeks so if anyone is able to drop by and say hello he would like that.
We don’t expect he will be back at Rotary until Sep-Oct. Best wishes from all of us at Rotary Melbourne.
