Dagaboys Roll of Honour Dagaboys Gone Forever |

| Tommy Orford | 09 May 2004 | It's with a great deal of sadness that I must advise you that
Tommy Orford passed away today in the Mater Dei Hospital shortly after noon.
Two weeks ago I spent a half an hour or so with Tom sitting on the little
veranda of his cottage enjoying the warmth of sun and chatting about things
in general. When I saw Tommy last Sunday he was in bed, very restless and
certainly out of sorts.From mid week I visited him daily, on Friday I became
alarmed at the very sudden deterioration in his health . To cut a long story
short he was admitted to the Mater Dei Intesive Care Unit yesterday. Tommy
died of renal or kidney failure. Tommy or "Kamchacha"as he was known was
one the Department's real characters, dubbed "Peter Pan" by some during
Operation Noah he will be remembered for his intense love of wildlife and
dogs, particulary "Jack Rusells." To Tommy's family - Bryan and Paddy his
two sons, his brother Ken and his sister Sheila we offer our deepest sympathies.
As his family will be gathering in Bulawayo messages of condolences can
be sent either via my email address or direct to Bryan on bryanbush@telconnect.co.zw
The time and date of the funeral / memorial service will be advised - Tommy's
funeral will be held at the Bulawayo Baptist Church (George Selindika and
2nd Street) at 3pm this Wednesday afternoon the 12th. Following the service
there will be tea served at the church. The "wake" will be at 39A Moffat
Avenue Hillside. Mike Bromwich |
