This is a sad loss,I will miss Bud as I often sat next to him, it's
the' old timers 'hearing and eyesight that keeps us together.
He gave me some of his drawings which will be cherished. I am still
in the UK and therefore will not be able to attend the cremation
service but will be there in spirit.
Farewell old friend, Rest in piece - with no crashes.

Sadly I must tell you all that my (and our) good friend Charles
(Bud) Abbott has passed away after a short time in hospital.
I think I joined in 1968 and my number is 234, from the days of OS
5 & 6 and the Mac Plus (at first 'borrowed' from UWA for the weekend).
Charles and I always sat together in the front row at monthly
gatherings. He was always the first to arrive and saved me a seat
on the side of him that suited my hearing aid best.
Some of you may already know that Charles was an architect in his
younger days, and in retirement proved to be an excellent artist,
mainly in line drawings of well known scenery around the
metropolitan area. Occasionally he would branch out into water
colours as well.
For several years past there has always been from Charles and Jean
one of his sketches on a greetings card at Christmas, together with
a detailed history of the structure's history.
His cremation service is scheduled for 3.00 pm at Karrakatta next
Friday. Sadly I will be unable to attend.
To Jean, their 3 children, six grandchildren and 2 great-
grandchildren we xtend our sympathy.
