One of the Facebook messages between Charlie and myself on the 11 September 2018:

LMiss 1 & Mr 2OL It’s all good Greg, I didn’t think I would have made it into one of those “Stud” books anyways, I just wasn’t studdy enough for the Stud Book. I emailed the Dept via their web page and got a reply from some S/C.  I just thought I’d update you just in case you kept on looking.  And for future reference when you put me on the Fallen Police group site, my rego was 26802 LOL

Well Charlie, I had to use that Registered number tonight my friend.  Little did we know, 2 years ago, that I would use it so soon.

 

  *   *   *   *

You were one funny bugger that I loved working with and associating with over the years.

Although we had not seen each other for several years, we tried to catch up last time I was in Victoria.

No matter how long it was between conversations, we always started up from where we left off the last time we spoke.

We always had each others back and it was a bloody pleasure of mine to work with a bloke such as yourself.  I loved the ethics and banter between us.

Rest In Eternal Peace my friend – until we meet again.

My family and I regret to inform everyone that my beloved father, Hasan Ataman Atlas, ( Adam Atlas) has passed away this afternoon ( Monday 14 September 2020 ).
Thank you to everyone who has showed their support these past few weeks. It has been a massive struggle for the entire family.
All I can say is, my brother and I were by his side the entire time. Everyone can be at ease knowing he passed away peacefully.
Our father’s funeral will be held tomorrow.
Unfortunately due to COVID-19, we are unable to have people attend his funeral. However, we will live stream on Facebook for those who would wish to be there virtually.
It will be a little bit after the Islamic afternoon prayer ( Dhuhr ) which is at 12.15pm ( Melbourne time ). I will update again tomorrow.
Allahım seni rahmet eylesin baba. İnşallah cennetin en yüksek katında yerin olur. Seni çok seviyoruz ve asla unutmacağız. Hep kalbimizdesin.
Family and friends, please make Dua for my father’s soul. Rest easy Baba xxx

Testimonials
“My family and I have been dealing with Ataman Atlas for 4 months now. The very first call I got after news spread that we chose Atlas Legal to represent us was someone begging me : “Change your lawyer!”. And I’m so glad we didn’t. If you are looking for a multi million dollar office with fancy cars and a sexy receptionist in high heels, Atlas Legal is not the firm for you. However if you are looking for lawyers who will actually care about your case and your family, lawyers willing to explain the law to you in layman terms, lawyers you can call after hours during an emergency and lawyers with relevant advice to get you the results you want, you’ve come to the right place. I was not paid for this review.”
 
– Sandy

“Thank you so very much for your kind words and candour. We do our best to look after our clients best interests and as a result we make some enemies along the way. That is just a part of life for us. Our clients know us the best.”

9 September 2020
We are deeply saddened by the recent loss of Darrin Voss who tragically lost his battle with cancer last week.
Many of you would know Darrin who was a very active member of our community but more importantly the gorgeous father of Chloe, Zahra and Ashton and husband to Tania.
Chloe Voss has umpired and played for Flinders and SCNA for many years. She has represented SCNA for the past four years at State Age and This year is our 15 Gold Captain.
It so difficult to find the right words but we hope Chloe and her family know that we are here for them in this difficult time.
This week in memory of Darrin we united across all clubs, at the courts, wearing his footy colours.
A memorial service will be held for Darrin at 10:00 this Thursday.
Due to COVID unfortunately numbers are reduced at the venue but for family and friends that would like to celebrate the memory of Darrin you can join via video.

Dear Giants Family,

It is with great sadness that today we mourn the loss of our friend and fellow clubman Darrin VOSS.

This morning he lost his battle with cancer and passed away peacefully at 2.30am.

He came from the CAMPSIE family of Cops which many of us came from.
He was a fighter with a giant heart, great Cop, footy player, friend and family man. He leaves behind a beautiful family and many friends.

He passed away from a rare form of liver cancer which sadly spread.
In this photo he is seen with good friend and clubman Nigel Webber.

We will always remember him and we will play with Vossy in our hearts.

May God bless him, his family and his friends.

Vale Darrin Voss.

Nambour parkrunners I have some sad news to share tonight.
Today our little community lost a rare treasure today.
Darrin Voss who many of you know through Anytime Fitness Nambour lost his short battle with illness and passed away this morning.
What many of you may not know is that without Darrin there would not be a Nambour parkrun.
Darrin had a vision to bring parkrun to Nambour as a healthy and fun way to connect the community.
He originally approached me in March 2015 and together we searched Nambour and surrounds for the perfect course. There was nothing that would really inspire people to come to Nambour to run 5km until 1 day driving back from checking a potential course at Bli Bli I looked up at the towers on Radar Hill Rd and said there is 1 more place I can show you but trust me, parkrun will never agree to letting us have a parkrun there because it’s 100% trails with hills, no toilets or water except in the creek.
I took him out to Parklands and around the Rocky Creek circuit and of course he was hooked. I said again there was no way this would be allowed but he was determined to ask the question.
The answer from parkrun was if you can raise the money Nambour can have a parkrun there.
Straight away Darrin kicked in a generous donation and organised another donation from another local business.
The Sunshine Coast Council contributed the balance and on 21 November 2015 Nambour parkrun was launched.
Thank you Darrin for your vision, your hard work, your enthusiasm, your generosity and all you contributed to our community.
Nambour has lost a very special person today and our thoughts are with your wife Tania and beautiful family.

‘Multiple gym owner, law student, ex police officer…and all-round good guy.’
That was how I described Darrin Voss when we chatted on my show nearly four years ago.
Sadly, Darrin died today after a brave battle with cancer.
Devastating news like this stops you in your tracks.
I can only imagine what his family is going through right now.
You were always top shelf in my book Darrin Voss. RIP mate

Darrin, we all have you in our thoughts and our hearts.
Use all your great memories and connections with people to visualise your path forward.
I believe all the universal energy and positive thoughts from the enormous group of family, friends and people you have touched in your life can together be a great healing force that you can use to fight your way back to health.
Stay strong, we love you. Tony & Judy

I appreciate this will come as a complete shock to everyone but our dear friend Darrin Voss (Vossy) was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer in late May this year and has been in the fight of his life over the past 2 months trying to overcome this terrible condition.

The primary cancer formed in what is known as his billary tree and a secondary tumor has formed on his liver.

The cancer is extremely rare and very aggressive and Darren was immediately put onto a strong course of Chemotherapy.

The tumors have caused significant complications with his digestive system and about 3 weeks ago Darrin underwent major surgery to clear blockages in his bile duct and portal vein in his liver.

While the operation was successful, it put him back a few weeks with his chemo and unfortunately the tumors have continued to grow in this time and his health and strength have continued to deteriorate.

Everyone that knows Darrin will understand he is not one to ask for help, however this is a fight he just can’t handle alone.

Tania, Zahra, Chloe and Ashton have been so resilient, getting on with life best they can and dealing with the daily challenges but now they need our help.

Any donation big or small will help Darrin and Tania and their beautiful family during this difficult time. We all need to rally together and help this family in there moment of need.

Darrin is just an outstanding individual who has succeeded in every endeavor he has turned his hand to. Although he’s been involved in the fitness industry for the past 12 years he spend the 10 prior serving the community in the NSW Police Force both in general duties and later as a detective. Many people would know he’s an avid Souths fan but most wouldn’t know he played over 50 lower grade games with the Rabbitohs in the early 90’s – he just isn’t the type of person to brag about things like that.

Please share with as many of Darrin’s friends as you can reach out to, whether it be people he knew growing up and playing football, when he was in the police force or working in the gym we want to reach as many people as possible so feel free to use Facebook, private messages, messenger, WhatsApp messages or any other platform.

We also understand many of you will want to reach out to Tania and the family, but please for now just give them some space to work through this – please leave your well wishes and messages of support here and the family will make sure Darrin see them.

If you do want any further details please contact me at brad.hyem@yahoo.com.au or text me on 0466838712

North Curl Curl SLSC
We were delighted to present the inaugural Ross Lambert Perpetual award this year to Dominique Melbourn.
This award is presented for outstanding contribution in representing NCCSLSC as the best individual junior competitor at carnivals.
At State Championships 2020 Dom won gold for each of her individual water events of Swim, Iron, and Board, just managing to stay ahead of her team mate Olivia Clues.
Dom has consistently been at the pointy end in Surf Life Saving events. Gracious in defeat and magnanimous in success, Dom is polite and thoughtful to others. And when not in the water at carnivals, she is on the ropes supporting our beachies or cheering on her team mates, who altogether make an incredible team. Whilst this is presented to one individual it is equally a reflection of the exceptional peer, club, and coaching support at NCCSLSC.
.
This award is in honour of Ross Lambert, Nippers President in the 1987-88 season.

Man said to have hindered police

SYDNEY, Friday. — A teaching brother pleaded not guilty in Central Court today to a charge of hindering police who had arrested a drunken Aboriginal woman in Sydney on November 30 last year.

Before the court was Brother Thomas Charles Hammerton, 39, a De La Salle teaching brother attached to the St Vincent’s Presbytery, Redfern.

Sergeant Ross Lambert said that as the woman was being placed in the police van, Brother Thomas had tried to grab, her. He said that Brother Thomas had yelled,”Watch the racist police.

Watch. Watch”.

He told Brother Thomas to go away but he lunged again and tried to take hold of the woman.

Brother Thomas said he had told the police to treat the woman with dignity and respect.

He said the police pushed and shoved the woman like a “sack of potatoes”.

He said he had then said to them, “Hey, are you a racist or what?”

Mr Berman, SM, adjourned the hearing until March 16 and allowed Brother Thomas to go free without bail.
