Hi
Another sad piece of news -- Reg Humphreys just rang me, to
pass on the news that 'Paddy Riley KOYLI' has died -- Paddys
daughter told him.
There is no information as to cause of death but this will
be forthcoming.
A very sad -- time for his family and friends

Hi All
Sorry to hear about Paddy. Can you pass my condolences on to
his wife and family. It was nice to catch up with him last
year when I was in UK. Thats a good photo, Jim. Thanks for
that. First time I have seen that.
There is a photo of our section in my album (pommie page 1
next to R9) Les, can you pull it out and put on site. That
long since I have done it, I forgot. It was taken in Borneo,
must have been going out on patrol up country, cause look
too clean for just coming back. (As you know Jed passed away
a while back, he was Joe Hutleys brother in law.)
Joe was in our section, cant remember why he was not there,
perhaps he was on his annual 3 monthly holiday (in bn nick),
Haha.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Paddy Riley, he was a good
lad and i used to go to school with him. He was a bit older
than me, he joined up with two other lads from Wakefield too
Brian Hodgson and Mick Good.
