It is with deep sadness that we share the news that Michael O'Brien has passed away.

Michael was a highly valued member of the Sub branch, who along with Tracey and their family, contributed so much to the sub branch.

This ranged from organisation of the bar, catering, and alot of behind the scenes assistance to other members of the sub branch.

Michael was a friend to many, and he could tell a good yarn or two.

Our thoughts are with Tracey, and the rest of the O'Brien family.
