 Mr ROWSWELL (Sandringham) (09:55): My community, especially the Beaumaris RSL community, mourns the recent passing of distinguished World War II veteran Roy McIntosh, whose funeral was yesterday. Roy spent a major part of his service on the destroyer HMAS Napier and had the privilege of being part of a flotilla present at the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay. Roy married Beaumaris RSL women’s auxiliary president Mairi Macneil, and they moved to Black Rock in 1996. I remember Roy fondly. He will be greatly missed. My assurance of prayers and heartfelt condolences to his widow, Mairi.
