At Illawong Lodge, the creation of which he headed in 1956 and 1957.

Dad passed away late this morning. He didn’t quite get his wish to depart his house in a box, but he did die peacefully after 3 weeks in hospital, rather than months or years in a nursing home. The proximate cause of his passing was Hodgkin’s lymphoma but there were other medical issues in addition to the general difficulty of treating an 88-year-old man. The decision to switch to purely palliative care was made on Wednesday afternoon. As with Mum, the journey from that point onwards was short.
