Sad passing of our Patron

10th March 2011

It is with great sadness that I advise our long-standing Patron Mr John Quatermass passed away at midnight last night. 

John was a founding member of CTC and was our Chairperson from February 1987 to 1992 and Deputy Chairperson from 1992 until 2006. John also owned and operated a very successful electrical business in Kingaroy for over 40 years and had a lifetime of community service commitment including Chairing roles on the Lions Rodeo Committee, Kingaroy Hospital Board, the District Development Board, the Salvation Army Red Shield Appeal and the Scouts. In recognition of his services to the broader South Burnett community and to CTC in particular, John was elected to be our organisation’s Patron in 2007.

The funeral is likely to be on Thursday 17 March at the Anglican Church in Kingaroy (to be confirmed) and I have been asked to speak for CTC at the service.  I will post further details as soon as they are available. 

Our sincere condolences to the Quatermass family.

Best Regards

Nina Temperton
Chief Executive
South Burnett CTC
