My sincere condolences to Anthony’s family.
May the God of peace and comfort strengthen the family during this most difficult time.
When I attended Marist Brothers Parramatta (in Victoria Road) in the ’50s, I seem to remember a Tony Boys (with fair hair) who may have been in the same class (I’m 75).
If Tony is the same person, I’m very sorry to hear he has died.
Loved and loving father of Ben (Blondie), Hayden (Dingo) and Darcy (Doo) and their partners David, Bek and Adam.
Proud and loving Poppy of Noah.
Funeral details will be advised.

The love of family and friends speed you on your journey home.
Cherished by her siblings and their extended families in Essex and Leytonstone, England.
At 17 she joined the British Government as a shorthand typist leading to a Personal Assistant role with Senior Government Servants in White Hall.
In 1968 she was posted to Canberra for a 3 year tour of duty to the British High Commission.
She became Commandant of the Girls’ Brigade leading to her being presented to the Royal Family at a Garden Party at Government House.
In 1971 Angela returned to England and joined the London Metropolitan police force as a WPC.
She joined the AFP in 1976 when she returned to Canberra and later was awarded The Commissioners Commendation for Services to Police Training.
As the Welfare Officer for Police, Families and Civilian Staff she also assisted in setting up VOCAL, Victims of Crime Assistance League and received a medal for Services to Police Welfare.
In 2000 she received the Centenary Medal for Services to Violent Crime. In 2004 she joined The English in Australia and held many positions on the Committee, making an invaluable contribution.
Angela has been a volunteer, teaching English as a Second language.
The funeral service for Angela will be held in the Anglican Church of The Good Shepherd, Carruthers Street, Curtin on WEDNESDAY 30 October 2019, commencing at 2.00pm.
Burial will follow in the Woden Cemetery, Justinian Street, Phillip.
Barry, whilst still living in England, joined the Royal Air Force before emigrating to Australia with his wife, Linda, aboard the ship TV Fairstar from Southhampton.
At the time of arriving in Australia, on the 14 December 1969, he was employed in the Catering field as a Cook & Waiter.
They moved to a unit at 131 John St, Cabramatta, NSW
Barry Served in the RAF with Units: RAF White Waltham ( 1964 – 1969 ) & RAF Hereford ( 1964 – 1969 ) sub unit 114.
He held the Rank of SAC & Service # F4276992
His Australian Army Regimental # 2147621 – Commissioned on 24 August 1974 as 2nd Lieutenant. Baz left the Army Reserve holding the Rank of Captain.
Baz and Linda met as 15 year olds and have been together every since.
Barry was a member of the Royal Australian Corps of Military Police prior to joining the NSWPF.
During his career with NSWPF, Baz was a member of the TRG ( Tactical Response Group ) and trained many Police in the use of the ( then ) new long batons ( which replaced the small rubber ‘trungens’ that we used to be issued.
He was instrumental on the inception of ‘simunition’ training, the change over from the Smith & Wesson .38 to the Glock Pistol, Mandatory OS ( Officer Survival ) tactics and training and the full time Weapons Unit.
He was also called, many times, to give ‘expert’ evidence in relation to various ‘shooting’ incidents in relation to Police related shooting incidents.
After his Policing career he joined Corrective Services in the Court system for a short time before finally giving up work to enjoy a more ‘relaxing’ life.
Prior to the invention of Facebook, Barry was an on-line member of the Policing Forum, the TBL ( or the Thin Blue Line ) – which is still an active Policing Forum which hangs off my main site – www.AustralianPolice.com.au
Barry, or ‘Barry7’, as he was known on TBL, joined TBL on 26 April 2005 – a few years before FB was ‘a thing’.
He posted over 5,760 posts on that Forum and his knowledge and expertise shone through with the way he helped other former, serving and ‘wannabe’ Police.
Barry, and others like him, put himself forward to bring vast improvements to Policing and Police safety – for the benefit of us all, and the benefit of Police who will come well and truly after we ( the old guard ) have all left this earth.
His comments and insights, on TBL, are still part of the enduring legacy that he leaves behind – for others to read and be guided & learn by.
There are, no doubt, Police who possibly owe their life to Baz – for the training he provided those people over many years.
It can never be said that Baz did not stand before an angry man – for he was always the one to ‘lead’ from the Front and By Example when the battles began and the ‘shit’ hit the fan.
The 1985 Bathurst Bikie Riots are just one example of this Bullmastiff standing up to the Rotweiler.
Eventually, when Facebook came along, communications were becoming more instantaneous and, eventually, Barry moved from the Forum style of on-line communications to the FB style, and thus – hadn’t made a Post on the TBL Forum since 23 October 2016 – but his 5,760 Posts remain.
Lots have met Barry, many more haven’t. He was always up for a chat and always up for a coffee crunch at Campbelltown when it was arranged.
Baz was always boasting about his visits to NZ to visit family ‘over the ditch’ and how extremely proud he was of his kids and grandkids. That deep love and affection is quite obvious in all the photos he has shared with us over the years.
He and Linda recently moved up the coast, from Camden, to be closer to their daughter.
Barely time for any of them to settle down in their new digs, when the old boy went into the Hospital system for a relatively minor heart operation on Tuesday but was met with complications from which he was not to recover and, sadly, passed away with Linda and family by his side on Wednesday – never to have regained consciousness again.
Baz, you contributed to this world. You did not leave empty handed but holding the love and affection of a great tribe of people who loved and put their trust in you.
My friend, our friend – may you Forever Rest In Peace.

Hi everyone. I would like to introduce myself before I continue. I am Barry Lewis’s 3rd daughter, the gorgeous one and the one who was of course the apple of her daddies eye ( I also got his tongue in cheek wit as you can by now probably tell).
On behalf of my family I would like to say thank you. Your condolences and lovely words have carried our family through this very tough time. My dad would have been so proud that you have all stepped up to support us.
We are so totally overwhelmed with the outpouring of grief that has been displayed and want to reach out to each and every one of you and offer comfort.
My dad was my hero, he is the example that I have held every man I have ever met up to and most have failed. He was my dad my friend, my inspiration and my strength and through this page I have been able to see that he was also these things to so many more people.
To all of you I offer my condolences for your loss, I never realised the hole that he would be leaving in your lives.
Thank you for being a part of his life. He valued every one of you and was so proud of his work here on this page.

Memories! My first day in the Army as a commissioned officer. I arrived at 2MP for my very first Dining In Night at the Ingleburn Area Officers Mess. I was pooping myself! The formality of it alll went out the window when Mr Vice stood up to toast the Queen. He raised a very unsteady glass and declared “God save the Queen and all those who sail in Her!” Major Hoban sat down and there was an unnerving silence in the room. I didn’t know what to do. Then the sound of hobnail boots clearly marching towards the entrance and in burst two immaculately presented MP Corporals who quietly and ever so efficiently whisked away Mr Vice. I never saw him again…… Ever. with Barry Lewis.

Barry Lewis August 7 · Well, today is the 54th Wedding Anniversary of Linda and myself.We have been together since we were 15 and she has stuck by me through thick and thin. Always supportive, we have always been a Team.When I look back I realise now that I was a mere callow youth in the formative years of our relationship, but with her help and guidance I gradually matured into Manhood and Fatherhood.She may only be 4 foot 11 inches tall, but she is a force to be reckoned with when roused. I couldn’t imagine life without her. My Rock, my life, my love. I would do it all over again and never change a thing. XXX
For the love of family.

The City Coroner, Mr. F. L. McNamara, was told yesterday that a man had lain for 30 to 45 minutes with a broken hipbone at the corner of Oxford and Moncur Streets, Waverley, while nine or 10 trams passed him.
Mr. McNamara found that the man, Arthur Reginald Townsend, of Nelson Street, Woollahra, had died accidentally at St. Vincent’s Hospital on February 26 from shock following an operation for a fractured femur, accidentally received when he fell from a moving tram on February 24.
He said: “I find it almost impossible to believe that no person saw the unfortunate deceased lying on the ground during the half to three quarters of an hour he must have been there.”
Constable Claude Richardson, of Paddington Police Station, said Townsend had told him he was getting off at Moncur Street and had one foot on the ground when the tram started off and he fell over.
Townsend had added: “The tram didn’t stop and I lay there while about nine or 10 trams went past before anybody came to my assistance.”
Bruce Carter, 6 years, of Suffolk Street, Paddington, was seriously injured yesterday when he fell off the back of a lorry in Glenmore Road, Paddington.
Central District Ambulance took him to St. Vincent’s Hospital, where he was admitted with head injuries.
Constable C. Richardson, of Paddington police is in charge of inquiries.
