Ken Done was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, however not sure how he is going. I was hoping Hayden was dead already; however forgot about Tom Uren. He was my local member for years whilst I lived in Sydney. Nice bloke also. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Death Impends 7,373 Posted January 5, 2013 Not dead yet, but I had no idea where to put this post (we need a designers thread IMO). A small plane carrying the head of the Missoni fashion house and his wife has gone missing off the coast of Venezuela. For what it's worth, his father and Missoni's founder Ottavio is still around and turns 92 next month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
