WAFC Where are they Update

Postby Mark_Beswick » Fri Sep 13, 2013 9:48 pm

Only 18 to find -
Red indicates I believe deceased - need family member for proof
Blue means I have possible phone number but they it always rings off the hook
Orange means I have spoken to the wife, but she doesnt? pass on the message to the husband???? Frustrating
Stoke is from Darwin 99% sure I know where and who he is but need to speak to him for proof
McDonald - I think I have a lead on a grandson

The others I have no leads -I suspect Hinkley's middle initial is wrong - This has been the case for many players on my earlier lists

Any help appreciated

I was very sad to only learn of Mark’s passing today. My condolences to his family, friends and the SANFL community.

He was way too young and to see he had 3 children makes this so much sadder.

I met him via a mutual friend and spoke with him several times around the mid 2000s. I remember him as very genuine and easy to talk to. He was best man at my friend’s wedding.

I lost a friend aged mid forties to cancer last year. He also had young children. What an awful disease.
