G’day all,
We’ve been saddened to learn of the death of former Ulysses Club Canberra branch member Ross Anderson, who was killed in a two-car crash near Strathalbyn, south-east of Adelaide, last Monday.
Ross, a veteran of the Navy, defence department and Australian Submarine Corporation who retired and moved from Canberra to Encounter Bay in SA 18 months ago, was 62. His wife, Tina, was critically injured in the crash and is in Flinders Medical Centre with her daughter by her side.
According to Adelaide’s daily paper, The Advertiser, "A German man, 66, who was driving the other car involved in the crash, has been charged with serious driving offences, including causing death by dangerous driving.”
The Advertiser also quoted Ulysses Fleurieu branch secretary Barbie Watson, who said “Rossco was much loved by his fellow Ulysses members who were lucky enough to enjoy some good conversations with him. He had a great sense of humour and would always offer advice, help and support whenever required. He was very warm and friendly and made the effort to welcome new members to the branch.”
