3793286 Denis Cosgriff
Support Company 5RAR 2nd Tour
I have been advised today of the passing of the above member. The e-mail, in part, states:
Dear all,
A Vietnam veteran, Denis Cosgriff, passed away this morning at about 3am.
His last words for his friends and those who knew his humour, was ’see
you when you get here’. He was very brave and passed to sleep at noon
yesterday and never woke. The cancer was caused by the agent orange
chemicals he was exposed to in Vietnam. He had a good life and, as we
veterans say, he is another soldier who is safe now ‘behind the wire’.
For those who keep the List, please add his name today. Thank you.
Funeral likely next Tuesday but I am not certain if it will be here in
Bendigo, I suspect it might be held in Melbourne.
kind regards,
Maryann Martinek
