A life of caring for family, environment Share
WELLWISHERS filled Baden Powell Park Scout Hall last month to mark the passing of Mount Eliza resident John Scholes.
The dedicated civil engineer and environmentalist was remembered by wife Ann as a “gentle man of measured words, deep-thought and boundless practical skills”.
Theirs was a life of family, Scouting, travel and care for the environment – all things dear to Mr Scholes’ heart.
The couple met at RMIT in 1968 where he was studying chemical engineering and married at St James the Less Church, Mount Eliza, on the day of Gough Whitlam’s election in 1972. Their wedding breakfast was held in a marquee in Ann’s parents’ garden at Mount Martha.
