RETURNED soldier, Legacy president (1993, 1998) Sheepvention president (1988-89), OAM recipient and community worker, Hamilton’s Eric Brettell Causer passed away suddenly last Friday, aged 98.

Eric, who farmed most of his life near Macarthur, was fond of saying that merely taking part in two of the biggest adventures of his life – war and farming – was what led him to community service.
