IN MEMORIUM : LAURIE WATERSON

Springwood Rotarian and Past President 2013/14 Laurie Waterson PHF lost his courageous battle with brain & spinal cord tumours on Saturday 3rd October, 2015. He joined The Rotary Club of Springwood in January, 1995 and served on numerous boards over his years in the club including Secretary in 1999/2000 and again in 2014 until he was forced to resign due to his illness. He also served on various district committees in District 9690.

 

The pinnacle of his service came when the 2013 bushfires hit the Winmalee area. He led the efforts to look after our members, the emergency services and the wider community in that difficult time and brought a District Conference to tears during his presentation regarding the impact of the fires on his community.

 

He was cared for so beautifully by the staff at Westmead Private Hospital. You may like to consider a donation to Nogin - our brain tumour support group. We are also participating in Walk 4 Brain Cancer in November as a family.

 

His dedication, commitment and service above self will be missed by the members and friends of The Rotary Club of Springwood Inc.
