Passing of a Bunting
Regret to advise that Brian ‘Pilz’ Edwards ex Yeoman crossed the bar this morning in Murwillumbah, NSW, Australia. Pilz had been in palliative care for the past week. All communications to Christine and family at bristine@bigpond.com.au
RIP Pilz. A good shipmate a fun run ashore served together on Royalist, Philomel and Wakefield another taken to soon

Pilz will be cremated at a private service and his ashes will be taken to the RSA cemetery in Tauranga in the next month or two. There will be a memorial service towards the end of July/early August in Murwillumbah and I will post details when that will happen and also details of the interment in Tauranga for those of you that want to attend.
Farewell, Brian. You will be long remembered for your outstanding professionalism and mate ship. Flag Papa [The Blue Peter] is close up. Mother earth has surrendered one of its finest to take charge of the Heavenly Signal School. I understand Jake Huka has organised a welcoming party and to celebrate your arrival ‘splice-the-main brace’ is the order of the day.
