Thread: Your Help and Assistance is required re. Auld Bassoon

If there is to be a service for Steve I would like to see some sort of woodworking remembrance.

Maybe a display of hand planes, or forum caps.

It has to be fitting to the occasion.

Any ideas?

I think he'd have appreciated some mates simply turning up to pay their respects, quiet like. Some flowers and some thoughts left would be appreciated by him I'm sure.

True.

A little bit of news about Steve in the EMAIL from my cousin:


This afternoon I got a phone call from Paul Jensen, of Jensen's Funeral Director's, to let us know that the Public trustee have contacted his company about the death of Steve Bisson.

The funeral date has yet to be set, as enquiries as to identity, etc are still pending.

Paul advises he will continue to keep in touch, and will let us know what's happening from here.

He also requested that you again ask your mates if anything more has come to mind about Steve, as he remains a mystery man.

I don't know about others but it strikes me as almost strange that somebody can remain so anonymous in this day and age. I mean when I started the job I'm in now I was asked to fill in a form which outlined my next of kin, when I joined the jim it asked for an emergency contact name.. I'm sure there are any number of people in India who have more details about me than I care to admit (not to mention my phone number). I just find it hard to believe that the office of the Public Trustee is having such a hard time finding out details about one individual..

Sorry I know I'm ranting, but I believe that Steve should have been laid to rest by now, and they could sort out the paperwork at a later date.

I appologise if I've upset anybody.

Himzo.

Message from my cousin.

The undertaker rang today to let us know that Steve Bisson's funeral will be at Springvale Crematorium, probably next week. We should know for sure late today or tomorrow. At the moment they are trying to find out if he had any religious affiliations, so that a suitable clergyman can be got.

Did any of you attend any religious functions with Steve?

Apart from Woodwork functions.

Steve's Funeral will be held at the Springvale Crematorium in the Boyd chapel at 2PM on Tuesday June 5th 2007.

Please let everyone who knew Steve know.

I'll see you there.

If any forum members in Sydney (or othewise out of Melbourne) want to contribute to a floral memorial, I would be happy to arrange - PM me and I will send you bank account details and arrange for suitable flowers to be at the occasion.

Regretably Tuesday is the one day of the week that I cannot attend as I am away, is there a proposed memorial service at a later date that can be attended does anyone know?

Maybe at our next get together we can have a toast Iain.

Look like the next GTG in Vic is at Noels, so bring your asbestos lined stomach for the toast.

I may be able to get to the hotel afterwards for a short while as we have a training session after I get back from work at about 3.00pm, the training session is at 3.30 but in the words of the FNQ wise one, coudn't give a rats ring, I had a lot of time for Steve and work can get stuffed, I am sure Steve would approve.

He would Iain. See you there mate.
