I was with my mother and and 2 sisters in the accident that he was sent to cover for the news, my mother and younger sister died. The empathy & support that Channel 7 gave to him, myself &nd my sister exceeded their duty as an employer and would be hard to better. My father passed away 9 months later.Over the yrs I have been told many stories about him,some of the things that i have learnt is that he loved his job, filming the Vietnam war, walking on water when he fell into the ocean (loosing a Channel 7 camera) whilst chasing a killer shark – the list goes on & on. The legacy he left to me was a thirst for knowledge and a love of life. If he was alive he say ” Watch the News” thank you Channel 7!
