THANK YOU!

Thanks in particular go to Salisbury Council which has allocated us an area in Pitman Park for the service. Tony Zappia MP originally initiated this and Mayor Gillian Aldridge continues the tradition. There is a rock bearing a plaque in memory of all asbestos victims – this year there is an additional plaque to commemorate Terry Miller OAM, who died on 31 May. Council staff set up the marquee and seating and MC the proceedings.

National Asbestos Awareness Week, 26 – 30 November 2018

This is Alan, a friendly family-loving man who enjoyed helping people and teasing his children and grandchildren.

His exposure to asbestos firstly occurred when he spent 15 years in the RAAF, living in fibro lined buildings. He married Pam in 1964 and settled in Adelaide where he tried various jobs, deciding on the building industry – more exposure to asbestos.
