VALE - Ross McConnell

It is with great sadness that itSMF advise it's members of the passing of Ross McConnell.

Ross was a member of itSMF Australia for many years and served passionately on the itSMF ACT Committee.

We all share similar feelings towards Ross through the time we got to know him. He was a gentle and kind man who gave his time generously to many organisations including ours.

His contributions were always given in excitement and enthusiasm and came usually with a cheeky grin and glint in his eye.

Ross attended almost every event bar those where he was volunteering his efforts for another worthy cause.

He is respected by his peers for his intellect, his manner and approach, his commitment and credibility and for being the really great bloke that he was.

The ACT chapter has missed him since the day he stoically announced his illness and now mourn his passing.

We will always remember Ross for his smile, his passion and his kindness.

From your friends at itSMF.

Rest in peace.
