Sadly, we have lost a number of Newington Alumni during the year and in their honour, this Obituaries page of the ONU eNews has been established. Please email alumni@newington.nsw.edu.au if you have an obituary for a Newington Alumni. It is noted that all Old Boys who have passed away are recognised in the Valete in each edition of News Magazine.

Bob Darke (ON 1943) Past Staff

Robert Bowring (Bob) Darke, late of Moss Vale was a much liked and admired teach at Newington from the 1950’s. Read the fond recollections of Peter Richardson (ON 1958) here.

Hal Holman OAM (ON 1939)

This obituary for Hal Holman was published in the Sydney Morning Herald in July.

Geoff Honey (ON 1970)

Geoff’s good friend John Treloar (ON 1970) gave this eulogy at Geoff’s funeral in June 2016. 

David Johnson (ON 1950)

The Sydney Morning Herald published David Johnson’s obituary on 4 July, fittingly perhaps as David lived for many years in the United States and worked as CEO of Campbells.

Jim McMillan (ON 1956)

The Community and Development Office received this obituary from Jim’s good friend Peter Richardson (ON 1958).

Richard Stokes (ON 1952)

We also note the passing of past ONU President Richard Stokes on 27 June 2016.
