So sorry to hear of the passing of “H” from Shorty & Cecilia McCaig

I have only just become aware of Harold's passing and very saddened to be advised of his death being in Hospital myself. This was a very caring man whose welfare work for veterans was extensive and U always found him to be a wonderful advocate for veterans. May I offer my heartfelt condolences to all his family.

To Darlene and family our thoughts are with you all and I was shocked to hear of “H “ passing. H was the one that got me into umpiring in both football and cricket when I arrived in Swan Hill in 1982. We were both involved in the R.S.L. Shadvic in the beginning and also the Vietnam Vets. I am a bit upset that I couldn’t make the funeral as being up in Cairns was a bit much for me. H was only 12 months older than me and I find it a bit hard to believe he has gone. God bless Darlene and the family. You have a lot of good friends in the Vietnam Veterans Family. Take care. Barry and Lyn Townley

Sincere condolences to all the family. I served with Ned in Bcoy 6 RAR Vietnam 66/67 RIP My old mate. gone but never forgotten.

Harold has been a constant presence in my life and that of my family since I can remember. A great mate and family friend of the Loveridge family for around half a century. Harold was a leader in the community and would always step up and lead from the front in any community involvement or endeavour that he chose to become inolved in. Hard and gruff at times, although his huge heart and undeniable ability to show fairness and kindness to those deserving of such always shone through. Rest in Peace 'H' you will always be remembered as a Great Man, mate and mentor to the Loveridge family.

Peace at last Harold will be missed by many our sincere condolences go to these and of course Darlene from Frank Marg Scott & Allan Ansell

Farewell my old school buddy, we had some terrific experiences and fun times growing up in Bendigo. I joined the Navy and Ned went off to the army, and we lost contact. We reunited after we both joined Legacy, myself in Cairns. We would meet it each other in either Swan Hill or Bendigo when my wife and I would travel down from our tropical paradise.. My sincere condolences to Darlene, his lovely wife,and Pauline, his sister and her family on the loss of such a great person, and great mate

"Safeguarding the interest of children is a service worth rendering, and their interests included their mental, moral, vocational and physical welfare. Personal effort is the main essential. Inasmuch as these are the activities of Legacy it is your privilege to accept the Legacy of fallen comrades." THE BADGE OF LEGACY The Badge of Legacy symbolises in its torch the undying flame of Service and Sacrifice handed to us by our comrades in War who have passed on. In its wreath of laurel, with its points inverted in remembrance is the guerdon of honour; that is the meed of those who gave their lives for their country.
