IN MEMORIAM: Greg Light
IN MEMORY of Greg Light.
October 1st 2019 marks 30 years since my brother Greg Light died on his motorbike in the Simpson Desert, in 1989.
When the Police came to tell our family what had happened we were crushed – as were so many locals who loved and respected him.
As the years pass and the grief subsides, I am left with wonderful memories of him and stories I can tell my daughter Amy (now she is old enough).
He was my younger brother with whom I shared so many great experiences that will stay with me forever and I like to remember him for his love of life and adventure, energy, confidence, his care for his friends and mates, and his family.
I wish he could have met his sister-in-law, Chiho and his niece, Amy but in some way, I think he has.
I wanted to remind his many friends from the bay that it is thirty years since he left us but also that he remains in our memories and hearts, and we are better for it.

I was great friends with Greg’s sister, Susie. Spent many weekends with the family at Lighthouse Rd and the boys always were so much fun. Caught up with Susie around 2006. Was saddened to hear of her passing.
Thank you Sharon. I miss them both but life goes on.
