It has been a sad start to the year for Lecarrow Benevolent Fund with the news of the passing of another member and friend Sam Wark.

Sam was a valued member of Lecarrow Benevolent Fund who took on a number of roles and was committed to supporting those in need of assistance throughout the community.

We will remember Sam for his kindness, his sense of humour, the stories of his life and, above all, for his friendship.

We extend our deepest sympathies to Sam’s wife Marguerite and family and to Sam’s friends and neighbours.
