VALE, LION BOB PERRETT
Bob Perrett joined
Karumburra Lions Club in February 1977.
Lion Bob has
been a member of Lions for 31 years with a 100% attendance record.
Lion Bob is a
Melvin Jones Fellow.
Bob has also
received numerous appreciation awards over the years the last being
in February 2007.
Bob was
always one of the first to welcome new members into Lions as he
realised new members are the life blood of Lions.
Bobby
organised the raffle prize for the dinner meeting for as long as we
can remember, only recently handing this job over to Tony his
offsider, "The Young Bloke" as he called him.
One project
Bob really enjoyed was Race Gates. Bob used to look after the gate
and controlled who went in and out. Even if Bart Cummings had come
along without a ticket he wouldn’t have got past Bob. We called Bob
the Gate Police.
Bob knew
every trainer and bookie and wanted to know if a horse was going to
win or not. In fact if Bob wanted to know something about anything
he would ask there and then no matter who else was there.
Bob was also
a keen gardener, knowing when and where to plant anything. His is
the Best Mulberry tree in Taree!
Lion Bobby
Perrett was a well respected and valuable member of Taree Lions Club
and will be sadly missed by all. |
