VALE ALF
RICHARDSON
Club
members will
be saddened to
hear of the
recent passing
of Alf
Richardson.
Alf
was member
of the club
for over
70 years
having joined
soon after the
Club reformed
following
World War
II. As
the only
stair-maker in
the North-East
Alf was
deeply
involved with
the
construction
of the lodge
in
1948/49.
He was also
particularly
adept at
working
through any
problems with
Falls Creek
Management.
Alf also built
the original
4WD vehicle
that serviced
the Club and
lodge as well
as serving on
Committee for
7 years.
In 1952, Alf
was
appointed Team
Manager of a
North East ski
team that
travelled to
New Zealand to
compete against
a NZ
team.
In recognition
of his hard
work and input
in the early
years of the
club, Alf was
honoured with
Life
Membership in
2000
Throughout
all of these
achievements,
Alf remained a
modest and
quietly spoken
man
and, on
behalf of all
members, the
Committee sends
its heartfelt
condolences to
the Richardson
family.
