We have been informed that Bob Simpson sadly died at home of a heart attack on Saturday 28th December, 2024. Bob was a KKA member and colleague through his leadership of the “The Creek Beyond the Lake” group in Nunawading.
Bob lived in the AdventCare Whitehorse village and became involved in monitoring the water quality of the creek feeding Blackburn Lake for the Litter monitoring project running at the Sanctuary. His interests developed further to participation in:
- planting programs along the creek with Whitehorse Council, Melbourne Water and Gardens for Wildlife
- joining the KKA as AdventCare community’s representative.
Bob was also concerned about planning issues, particularly on amenity relating to families and the impacts of climate change. He also contributed to other community groups in those areas.
Our sincere condolences to his family, colleagues and friends.
