Leslie John Price 1953 - 2010

FORMER MEMBER

11 October 1953 - 10 October 2010

Les, a former member, passed away on Sunday, 10 October 2010, one day from his 57th Birthday, as a result of a sudden heart attack.

Les leaves behind his loving wife, Lorraine, Daughter Megan and Son, Les Jnr. He was a man of many talents, a true Sportsman & very effective Social Worker, but he had a great love for music. He was an accomplished Song Writer, and could play just about any instrument he picked up. Les was passionate about relationships and justice, and went out of his way to help anyone who needed it. He was a very unselfish man, putting the needs of others before his own.

We are blessed for having had the honour of Les' friendship and encouragement, and we will miss him dearly.

Vince (Jimmy) Onorato & Sally Jane Tripodi

ASSOCIATE

Vince Onorato and Sally Jane Tripodi

On Friday, May 8th 2009 in a tragic and a shocking accident Vince and Sally, members of the Longriders Community were killed whilst riding towards Wirrabara in South Australia. They were going for a relaxing and enjoyable weekend up to the Coal Face Poker Run at Leigh Creek.

The Club has known them individually and as a couple for a number of years, and they were very much loved and valued as members of the South Australian Longriders Community.

In recent years, Vince and Sally had developed a strong friendship and close bond with each other which developed into a strong and committed relationship. They were wonderful company and a source of strength for each other. They had recently become engaged and were intending getting married next February. But such is the unpredictability of life, at least to our eyes, that those dreams were never to be fulfilled. But to most observers, Vince and Sally made the most of the time they had and enjoyed life to the full.

Both Vince and Sally had a strong Christian faith and believe that God was the one who ordained their life direction. For all of us who knew Vince and Sally, it was a privilege and for those who knew them more deeply, it was an even more wonderful privilege.

They are survived by Vince’s family which include Leanne, Teresa, Laura, Tracey and Rhonda, also Vince’s grandchildren; and Sally’s family which include Damien, Peter, Mark and Joe
