John Leadoux - R.I.P
Hi All,
One of our regular attendees at Corowa, John Leadoux from Bairnsdale Vic. passed away on the 8th March 2013
John discovered that he had bowel cancer on his way home from the Corowa Swim-In 7 years ago and had put up a hard fight for the last 7 years.
John was with us this year at Corowa, he was very unwell but wanted to come one last time. Dave and Elaine Pettman arranged for John and Judy to have a week at Corowa and he also visited a cousin at Deniliquin. John and Judy have been to about 15 Corowa Swim-In's, sometimes with his F15A and other times just modern.
John had restored his much loved F15A and was well on his way to finishing an F60L.
The funeral will be held at Bairnsdale, Victoria, on Tuesday 16th April 2013 at the Riviera Christian Centre, 103 Bairnsdale-Dargo Road, Bairnsdale commencing at 2.00pm.
Local KVE.Inc., MLU and VMVC members are welcome to bring their ex-military vehicles to honour a great bloke. There will be a big crowd so get there early (like 1:15pm).
Thanks Rick.
President KVE Inc.
