Wayne was a great spirit man!

Wayne & Jo followed us at Murrin Bridge HDP in 1981, after we went off to Hong Kong. During the three years they were living in that community Wayne mentored a number of the youth, instilling in them the belief that they could do anything. One of those in particular, Craig Cromelin is now one of the pillars in the Murrin Bridge community and has represented the south-western region of NSW on the NSW Aboriginal Land Council for several years now. Then this last year he became the Chairperson of the Council. He quite often stays overnight with us on his way from Murrin Bridge to Sydney when he is going to Council meetings. He has also represented the Council at forums of the UN on 'The Rights of Indigenous Peoples' in both new York and Geneva. He always gives credit to Wayne for the guidance he received from him.

And we know that of course it was a team effort by Wayne & Jo and other staff who were in Murrin Bridge at the time, but today we are acknowledging this legacy of Wayne's care & passion. We are sure his spirit will live on in the lives of many whom he touched.

Our love goes out to Jo and the boys and their family as they celebrate Wayne's life.

Grace & Peace

John & Elaine
