Fallen Comrades (retired members)

RIP WO (RTD) Bob Garson. Did 38 years of dedicated service, primarily with 26 and 33 SVC BN. Gone way before what should have been his time.

Bob was a bush pilot, beat cancer, and a fine man (on top of his military career).

I don't think I ever met him but I had heard of him.

RIP

False report of his Death​

On 3 April 2026, it was erroneously announced by the Irish Times that de Chastelain had died at the age of 88. In fact, he was alive and well. The obituary was withdrawn.<a href="John de Chastelain - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>5<span>]</span></a>

For any CAR, Skyhawks and PPCLI, Andy Hulan has passed away. Andy was a great soldier and better man than most. He had a good sense of humor and a sharp wit.

RIP VP

Just saw a post on FB announing the passing of longtime Army.ca fixture Bossi yesterday. No other details to share right now.

I deployed alongside him twice. He was always professional. Following his retirement from the CAF he was active as a veteran's advocate. I last saw him in person at our local Legion where he gave an excellent presentation about the new generation of vets and how they compare to the old guard.

R.I.P, Mark. You will be missed.
 
Just came across this though it's been a couple of months since his passing. Not only medics who served in Germany, but anybody who did brigade ski school over there will likely remember him. RIP Ernie.

I saw a note this morning that Dave Winterburn (Fishbone Jones) died during a camping or hunting trip just a few weeks ago.
I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Winterburn several times when I lived in Ontario. He was a very colourful character, enjoyed his Whiskey and had some good and funny stories to share here and in person.

RIP Fishbone and my condolences to his family and the Windsors, who have lost a good man, a husband, father, grandpa, brother and uncle.

Ouch …

Agree or disagree with the guy, one passionate voice gone from the boards here. Condolences to family, colleagues & friends.

Damn. We defiantly lost a voice on these means.

Rest easy old boy.
