Warrant Officer Radio Supervisor Gary Rzepecky

Just to advise that one of our shipmates, Ex Warrant Officer Radio Supervisor Gary Rzepecky has been diagnosed with a health issue for which the prognosis is not too good. Zeppy as we fondly know him, has a faulty heart valve, damaged heart muscle and damage to his lungs. He is going to have an angio and then another echogram to see if anything can be done to extend his prognosis of two years.

He has had to give up work, will be going on a terminal benefit. Not allowed to fly, drive, drink alcohol, eat fish and chips or carry out any physical activity. Spare a thought for our shipmate and his wife Anne, and family.  If you wish to send Zeppy a private message, please forward to zeponthames@xtra.co.nz
