Deceased Old Boys Requiescat in Pace The following list of deceased Old Boys has been compiled by the current committee from personal and gleaned knowledge and is a "work in progress". We welcome any information from family members or any reader who may be able to make additions or corrections. Should we have listed a colleague who has not yet changed his address to Heaven we apologise and will correct the list immediately on receipt of advice. Recently Deceased It is with deep regret that we advise of the passing of Gladys [Glad] Sheppard on the 4th of April. Glad was a staunch worker for the Marist Brothers Old Boys, and the Brothers in general. Her mother along with other female family members of Old Boys for many years catered for the sit down breakfast at the reunion. Glad and husband Les were at all the dances that the Old Boys conducted. Their family of 4 boys Brian, Kevin, Dennis and Brendan all attended the school. Dennis and Brendan both served on the committee with Dennis being Secretary for a number of terms. This is truly a family with a deep understanding of our Catholic upbringing, the Marist Brothers mission, and the undertakings of the Old Boys Association. We ask that you keep them in your prayers. We were represented at the funeral service for Paul Bevans who died on 19 March 2012. Paul is the second son of the late Eddie and Pat Bevans....his brothers are Terry,Kevin and John. Des Kelly passed away at Kyneton Hospital on 11 March 2012 and will be interred at Trentham Cemetery after requiem mass at The Church of the Holy Rosary on Friday 16 March. The family also lost Kevin recently. Kevin did not attend the Marist Brothers but was well known to many. Ken O’Meara also passed away in early march and was farewelled by a number of association members. At the 2012 AGM Gerry Danaher advised that Barry Young and Kieran Fahey both Old Boys had died but were not on our list. Advice was confirmed at the march general meeting and list updated. Advice was received in November 2011 that John Chapman who lived in Bendigo passed away recently. We learned that Lawerance Sheraman died in September. Members at the October meeting spoke highly of an unasuming person who dedicated mush of his time to community efforts. Tom and Jack O'Dea and their sisters and extended family bade farewell to their mother on 29 September 2011. An interment at Kyneton was followed by a memorial requiem mass at Trentham. We were represented at the Requiem Mass for Gerald David Leahy who died on 8 July 2011 Joe Fleming of Carlsrhue died in May. Brian Fleming attended the service and reported to the Committee. Joe was a regular attendee at reunions over many years. Leon Fallon's uncle Laurie Muir died on 1 March 2011. A family funeral was held. Nick Adams ,a committee member ,lost his mother Delia who most will know was one of the Clohesy children. Delia passed away suddenly in mid February. Her requiem mass was celebrated by Father Johnson on 25 February. The service was held at Sacred Heart College where the hall was packed to the rafters. Leonard Michael Connors of Lancefield passed away on 27 December 2010. Len was born in 1942 so would have been at the school in the fifties. A Requiem Mass for the repose of his soul was offered at St Mary's Catholic Church, Chauncey St, Lancefield on Dec. 31, 2010 It is with regret that we advise the passing of Noel Patrick Muir better known to us as “Kaiser”. [It was actually his father’s nickname that he inherited.] Noel had been bedridden since early 2005 after falling from a roof. He got an infection and died as a result on December 2nd. 2010 [Advice from Frank Hanrahan] Our thoughts are with Judy and family. After a prolonged illness Stan Plowman passed away on Sunday 26 September 2010. His funeral service was held on Friday 1 October at Our Lady of the Holy Rosary Kyneton and like the Rosary event the evening before was an "overflow" event. Stan was a founder member of the Old Boys and dedicated much time to the cause over the last six plus decades. No easy access to our history is available but this is a memory of Stan: - In September 1948 a boxing tournament was held in the Shire Hall at Kyneton when boys from Brunswick came up to oppose the Kyneton Boys. The Guardian write up included: - “Tuesday night attracted a “bumper” house and there was not a dull moment from the opening bout. The youthful boxers revealed that they had been well trained in the art of “fisticuffs” and though the Kyneton boys had been schooled in the aggressive style, those from Brunswick were more inclined to spar for an opening as is seen with professionals, and the hurricane tactics of their opponents at times had them bewildered but they stood their ground gamely and exchanged punch for punch, with the audience loudly applauding each bout.” [Kyneton and Brunswick won three bouts each] The Guardian reported the address by Brother Bernard the President of the organising committee in detail which included: - Mr S. G. Plowman as secretary was responsible for most of the organising and to his energetic, self effacing, but efficient work, most of the credit for the highly successful show must go. His efforts had not been confined to the night, but had been going on for some time past ,and was rendered more difficult by the fact that the assisting artists were widely distributed and the Marist Brothers expressed their thanks to him. Messages of Condolence received via Old Boys web site. FATHER JOHN HEGERTY IN CHILE Many thanks for the news on Stan. We have certainly lost a great personality. He will be fondly remembered and sadly missed. BROTHER KEVIN HOARE Thanks for letting me know of Stan's death. Please pass on to Mrs Plowman my sympathy and promise of my prayers; both she and Stan were very supportive of the school when I taught there in the Brothers last few years.
