Keith Eddy, a leader in Australian Air Traffic Control, was born on Australia Day 1920 and passed away Saturday January 22nd.
As one of the returning WWII aircrew he established a position in Melbourne ATC and ended up as SSATC Vic/Tas.
His leading example, caused his controllers to call him 'The Big E'. He ended his ATC career in 1987.
He maintained contact with his colleagues, attending their EXATCO lunch after passing his Ninetieth birthday.
He will be sorely missed.
