Keith Gunn passed away April 5, 2008

Keith and Faye Gunn

Doug Morey, a parson, but also a friend of Keith and Faye for over 60 years presided over the funeral service. Their friendship began when his father became the minister at the Port Adelaide Presbyterian Church back in the late 1940’s. The Gunn’s were prominent members of the Church and Keith and he soon “palled up”.

I do not remember meeting her as a child, but she was much loved and is fondly remembered by Malcolm and his family.

Kelly Gunn gets engaged

Kelly and Adam

One down, one to go! Kelly Gunn’s brother Ben got married in November 2007. Now its her turn (well, we think so). A day after Valentine’s day 2008, Kelly’s boyfriend, Adam got down on his knees and asked her to marry him. Kelly was delighted to accept and now she and Adam are engaged. Kelly is now sporting a diamond ring on her finger of course. Kelly and Adam have recently returned from an eighteen month working holiday/tour around the world.

Kelly’s parents are very pleased with the development and wish the couple everlasting happiness and contentment with each other.
