Hello All:
A very sad day for all Dragoons. We lost one of our Past RSMs - CWO Gordon R. Bennett, CD:
PastRSM from 1975 to 1978
His son MWO Tim Bennett informs us today:
Dragoons.
Long and hard fight. Unfortunately, as dad would always phrase it, "He has gone to the tank park in the sky and is now on radio silence". He passed today, 03 Oct at approx 1422 hrs. Mom is now at home with my brother, sister and their spouses. I just returned home to pass the new's to our son, who will soon be home from UNB. Dad / Busher lived a solid life and was everything in a father that a son could ask for. In addition, he was Regimental throughout and never once had a negative comment or thought about the Corps, Regt or those that he served with. Many interesting stories, yes, but never negative. As I do not want pers to think that I excluded them from being infoed, you three are the only ones that I have on my civy email. However, I know that the message will be passed. Please extend my thanks to all for their support over the last six months. Bill, special thanks to you and the CO for not only your moral support but your regimental support and understanding.
Take Care.
Tim
The Regiment will forward on more details as they come in through Tim. We will post on the Regimental Website at : www.Dragoons.ca
