I’d let you know that I had received very sad information that Narrandera Former GD’s Police Officer Reg No. 13736, Riverina RFPA Member ID 77 Kevin Barber had been admitted into Wagga Base Hospital for a major operation a couple of weeks ago for brain tumors and then taken a turn for the worst after a fall & they had discovered a brain bleed & clot.
Sadly, there was nothing they could be done and he was placed in palliative care but sadly he passed away at 10.30pm last night. ( Wednesday 17 September 2025 ).
I have informed Ian Moore, as the NSW RFPA Welfare officer and also the NSW RFPA Secretary Ian Lovell and I will update when I receive any further updates in relation to service details.
