Jack Burrows

Jack was a regular member at the Kingfisher RSL Day Club first living at Fingal and then at Murwillumbah in his later years. In 2007 Jack held the first of three 'wakes' so that he could be in attendance as he was 97 years of age. He held another in 2008 and a third in 2009 and passed away in 2011 at 101 years of age. Jack ensured there was plenty of drinking and singing much of which he led. He left instructions with his son Jim that there would be no wake after he passed away as he would not be able to attend. He was a 'favourite son' at Kingfisher RSL Day Club.

Jack was a hard working Railway man working at the Roma Street yards in Brisbane. He is survived by his only son Jim (his wife Judith) and five grandaughters
