JOHN "BLUEY" ANDERSON

It was good to see 26 of our members gathered for the funeral of "Bluey" Anderson. Most of those attending would have known "Bluey" better than me.
More recent members would not have known him at all as he has been sick for a number of years.
"Bluey" was a knock-about kind of a guy; a Sergeant. in the Regular Army who served in a number of overseas countries including Vietnam.
He was involved in the motoring industry and became a skilled motorcycle mechanic.
He then rose to the dizzy heights of serving on the Committee of the Yarra Ranges Ulysses.
His "growing old disgracefully" did not impact on his love and care for his wife, children a grandchildren.
Ride on Bluey.

On behalf of Yarra Ranges members, a condolence message was today sent to Coral Anderson and Family. Regards Mick. " Ride On John."

I am sorry to have to announce that John "Bluey" Anderson passed away on Sunday October 25th. John was a Yarra Ranges member for many years and served on our committee. His funeral service will be held on Monday November 2nd at 10.00am at Le Pine Chapel at 132 Mt Dandenong Road, Croydon.

Our condolences and best wishes go out to John's family.
