Vale Neville Milston
Submitted by Penny Sharpe on Wed, 25/07/2007 - 5:29pm.
Today I attended the funeral of a wonderful man called Neville Milston. Neville was a dedicated supporter of the Labor Party in the Castlecrag area for over 30 years. He passed away at home one week shy of his 87th birthday. Willoughby/Castlecrag Branch gave me some of his life story that I was able to use in an adjournment speech last month about Neville.
He will be sadly missed by his family and many friends.
