“To McGoo….for all those years from Safety Ed to the other ‘work’..to your wonderful attitude to kids to the the attitude adjustments delivered to those in need. A spinner of tales some possibly…” – Gary Brown
“Bob was truly a larger, and louder, than life character. I always enjoyed his company, in my office, or at his home. His bear hugs of my staff were something to behold. My sincerest sympathy to you…” – Fred Barnes

Sad to hear of the passing of Bob McGoogan. Bob and I were in the same class during our time at the Ashfield Secondary Technical School in Sydney during the late 1950’s. We both represented the school in the cricket team, where Bob excelled as a fast bowler. I came across Bob many years later, after I joined the ACT Police…Bob was then a Constable First Class. RIP Bob. Ex-ACT Police Constable Bob Stephens No 641.
