VW Local Passes Away
ByronBug - October 22nd, 2008 at 10:20 AM

I was saddened to read of the death of Neville Roberts in this mornings Northern Star. Neville suffered a heart attack a couple of months ago, and we signed a card for him on our last Drive. Our sympathies go to Helen & their family. Neville loved his orange Beetle & it was his preferred mode of transport over their other vehicle a Tarago.

Neville's Funeral is at 11 am on Friday at the Uniting Church, Lismore & later at the Lismore Crematorium. It would be nice to see some VW's there. I am attaching some photos in memory of Neville.

Neville is the man pictured wearing the striped brown shirt
This was taken at lunch on one of our VW locals cruises
