I recall his cheeky smile and how he took a few bob off many of us playing cards in his tent

Sad day for sure"

To Bob "Woody" Wood

Trevor’s funeral went well. Rod Althofer read out the comments from Trevor’s mates that you forwarded in the email. A copy of the email with the photos has been given to the family.


Trevor was well regarded in the community and his funeral service was attended by over 300 people.


14 local ex-service personnel provided a guard of honour as his casket left the service.


Cheers

Ray Klein

I would like to thank you all for sharing memories with me about my father (Trevor Elemes). I would like to share with you all a little about dad.

Dad has left behind a beautiful wife named Myrene, 5 daughters and 3 sons :Raylene, Annette, myself, Dallas (dec), Lisa, Teletha, Trevor (jnr) & Martin, Dad also has 15 Grandchildren & 7 Great Grandchildren and loved by them all.

Dad was struggling with his health for many years, always during the winter months he would be very ill in and out of hospital.

Dad really enjoyed life he was a joker at times and loved his beloved Rugby League team ST George Dragons. He struggled when his beloved Dragons would be playing against his Grandson Tyrone Peachey he would sit on the fence until the end of the game.


I ask if you have any more Army pictures of Dad in Vietnam could you please share with me so I can share with my family members.

Kind Regards

Janine Elemes
