Aubrey MONTAGUE Obituary

MONTAGUE, Aubrey Charles Pennefather. Born in Tarawa Kiribati 05 October 1937 and crossed the bar on 18th January 2023 aged 85 years old. Loved son of the late Joan and Doctor Felix Montague. Loved brother of Ann. Much loved long time partner of Helen and adored father of Anna. Grandpa to Mila and Father in law of Gysvier. Past Commodore of The Royal Akarana Yacht Club and member of the Production Engineers. A sailor of our coastal waters and an off shore yachtsman. Ah! Give me a boat with a sail and a mast- it needn't be tall, but it has to be fast. As long as it takes me away on the tide, I'll sail it with eagerness, honour and pride. So, up with the mainsail! I've called it a day, and now on the breeze I will sail away. No need for a Navman, like modern Jack Tars: on my final voyage I'll steer by the stars. As per Aubrey's wishes a private cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life will be held at a later date. All communications to montague.au[email protected] Vale Aubrey
