Pete Molloy ex Rece Mech passed on.

For anyone that served with Pete Molloy during the 80' and 90's I have been informed that he has passed on to the REME bar upstairs. R.I.P mate. Many a fun time had.

REME COLLECT

O God of power and might, whose all-pervading energy is
the strength of nature and man, inspire, we pray Thee, us
Thy servants of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical
Engineers with the quickening spirit of goodwill, that as
honest craftsmen, seeking only the good of all in peace or
war, we may glorify Thee both in the work of our hands
and in the example of our fellowship, through Jesus Christ
our Lord.

Rest in Peace brother.

Sad news about Pete.

And then...Just heard that Dave Doyle, my first boss at the Recovery Section, 4 Armd Wksps in Detmold died yesterday.
Rest in Peace Old boy.

Thinking about it, was he 12 Armd Wksp FRT 82-85? I suddenly realise why the name and face look familiar.

I think he was. I knew him with the 16/5L at Herford and during the first Gulf war. Really was a great guy with a big heart.

Slightly better pic of Pete.

FRT weren't mine to administer, but when there's only two of you in the office, there's leave, NI tours, etc to cover for, I obviously found myself other side of the counter from him, if nothing else to sell him petrol coupons. I'm seeing a bloke with a sense of humour and character. To be missed.

Aye, he was in my section at 12 Armd in '82, didn't really get to know him that well, as I got my second up and was posted to 4 Div Sigs not long after he arrived.

Radar Tech (and best REME VM) Malcolm 'Tigger' Craig has also gone and is probably running the Bar as he did in Napier
