Recent Gazettes maybe but as the individual was apparently at Cranditz in mid-1970s, assume age 21, and served to age 55 then he could indeed not have been shown as retired about 2008. Now at age 60 he is clearly in a very senior position but would that fit with a full term career?
If he retired in his early 40s then that would have been in the 1990s and definitely gazetted.
