It is with a heavy heart and a sense of deep sorrow that the Apollo Bay Bowls Club comes together to mourn the passing of a beloved member and cherished friend, Stanley “Gordon” Currie. At the age of 93, Gordon bid farewell to this world on Monday, leaving behind a legacy of warmth, camaraderie, and an unwavering dedication to the Apollo Bay Bowls Club.
Gordon was not merely a long-time member; he embodied the spirit of the club and was an integral part of its tapestry. A true gentleman in every sense, Gordon’s presence brought a sense of congeniality to the greens, where he could always be found ready for a friendly chat with fellow members.
His enthusiasm for the sport and his genuine interest in the lives of those around him created an atmosphere of camaraderie that defined the Apollo Bay Bowls Club experience.
Beyond the greens, Gordon’s impact extended to the entire community. His friendly demeanor and approachability made him a beloved figure not only among fellow bowlers but also among friends and neighbors.
The club, now bereft of his familiar face and warm conversations, stands as a testament to the void left by his departure.
In these trying times, our thoughts and condolences go out to Olive and Gordon’s family. The bond they shared with him, both as a family member and a friend, is a testament to the enduring relationships forged within the Apollo Bay Bowls Club.
As we remember Gordon, let us reflect on the joy he brought to our lives and the legacy of sportsmanship and friendship he leaves behind. The Apollo Bay Bowls Club is richer for having had Gordon as a member, and his memory will forever be etched in the heart of the club he so dearly loved.
