Eulogy for Whinger

Everglades Country Club lost a long time member with the recent passing of George Stratton.

George was a member of the Everglade Whingers, a local group of elderly gentlemen who play golf every Friday in teams of four.

Fellow Whinger Neil Peterson gave a eulogy about his memories of George.

"George was endearing, not only to his Whingers mates, but to those who played golf with him," Mr Peterson said.

"He will be remembered for his great sense of humor and his persistence which epitomised the great Aussie character that he was" said Neil.

"We Whingers will miss George and many a tale will be relived as we have a beer and reminisce on times gone by."

Mr Peterson said their thoughts and condolences were with George's wife Fay and family.
