The function was extremely successful in raising more than $110,000 and it couldn’t have been done without your willing support. Many people commented on how well you entertained the guests while extracting the best bids for the items auctioned; infact the total was far more than the organisers had hoped for.

The Hon Dr Richard Strachan de Fégely.
Tuesday, 4 December 2012
Yesterday was Dad’s funeral at the Point Lonsdale Bowling Club. A fitting tribute, a celebration of a wonderful life of someone who was an inspiration to us all. Charlie, Rob and I all spoke along with Rob Knowles his parliamentary colleague who he shared an office with whilst he was the member for Ballarat Province in the Victorian Parliament. Will de Fégely, his eldest grandson spoke on behalf of all his 10 grandchildren.
The tributes had it all and many people stayed on to share the memories.
Dad would have loved it!
