Hi all,
I am just cutting and pasteing from a message I sent to other lists. This is as all I know at this stage. If forum users have a t-shirt they may wish to wear it as well.
Erwin was one of those enthusiastic and gifted amateur
astronomers that we meet only rarely.
All those who wish to say good-bye to him may do so on Friday the 7th
of October at 2PM at the Metropolitan Funerals Chapel, 224 Newnham
Road, Mt Gravatt.
His ashes will be placed on a private observing site in Leyburn QLD,
on Erwin's favourite observation spot where he made many beautiful
photographs. We will notify you when in November the Memorial stone
will be placed.
Terry Lovejoy has posted a very fitting memorial to Erwin on his
website. There is a wonderful picture of Erwin as we remember him best
along with a gallery of his superb images. Those of you who did not
know Erwin personally may also like to visit the site to see why his
work was so highly regarded in the world wide astronomical community.

The SAS members have been asked to wear their club shirts to honour
them and a request has been made to BAS members to do the same with
their BAs shirts. It is an appropriate mark of respect for someone who
was an active member of both clubs.
Thank-you
Tony Surma-Hawes
