VALE - Jack Funnell - Mildura Instructor

Many Pruners will be saddened to hear that Jack passed away early today in Mildura after suffering a stroke a week or so back.

Many of his students progessed into the industry as pilots in charter, RFDS, VIP ops, the regional's, domestic operators as well as some overseas.

All will remember the many "Jackisms".

He was a legend in his own lifetime conducting training from Mildura and Swan Hill since the late '50's and from his new hangar in Mildura right up till recent times.

He will be remembered fondly by all those who were privileged to be one of his many students and friends.

Funeral will be Thu 29 Sep at 1pm.

May you continue to fly high Jack............. One of the "lads".
