It is with great sadness that the PDCA Executive Committee posts the following notice as received from James Jackson today (21 January 2019).
RE: The Passing of John Tubman
As most would know, John has been fighting an aggressive form of cancer for over two years. He was admitted to TGH early last week (14th) with complications arising from the condition and despite intense treatment and care failed to recover.
John passed away about 11.00 am on Friday 18th with family by his side. It will take quite some time for Junita and John’s siblings and family to reach acceptance of his passing, but all have been buoyed by, and are very grateful for the kind words, thoughts and condolences offered from many of John’s friends and colleagues.
A service for John will be held at Morley’s Funeral Home commencing at 1.00pm this Friday January 25th. Notice to appear in Townsville Bulletin on Wednesday 23rd.
On behalf of Junita and John’s Family, I would like to convey their appreciation for your kind messages and thoughts of sympathy.
James Jackson
