On a gorgeous winter Sunday, after giving breakfast to the magpies, gang-gangs, rosellas, galahs, lorikeets, wattlebirds, crested pigeons and currawongs, digging up the veggie patch, then settling back with a mug of tea, waiting for lunch, watching highlights of Essendon's victory on Saturday and Beatles videos, Tom died suddenly, his wife by his side, 7 July 2019.

I am very sorry for Thomas'death. He wrote a contribution for my book on the UNDBHR and I was wondering why I did not answer to my e-mail. Ilja Richard Pavone from Rome

May your soul rest in perfect peace, Tom. We spoke last after our Uniting Church Service on 9/6/19 while enjoying a cuppa and cake together. You went out to your car to bring me a copy of the disc recorded by you and others about the environment, not knowing that will be our last meeting. I will indeed cherish your lovely voice on that disc for ever. May God Almighty stand by your wife (Roza) and your dear son (Blake) always.
In Memory,
Femi & Christe Idowu & family
