My dear Uncle was a source of entertainment, elucidation, and education. He taught me marching drills, how to make slingshots, the calculation of cricket run rates, and many more essential life skills. I take comfort in knowing he is now reunited with my beloved Aunty Mary. My deepest sympathies go out to the entire Swanson clan.
Sincerely,
Kathleen and family

Desmond McDonald shared

I mainly only knew Mr Swanson in the Army. He mentored me through a course, if he hadn’t given so much time to me I wouldn’t have passed my course and possibly left the Army. He was a great instructor and helped so many . He was a caring, fair, yet hard WO1. To his family, thankyou for sharing your Father’s time with others, my sincere condolences to you all. RIP Mr Swanson.
