TREVOR is NOT mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance
* BUT SHOULD BE ( still not mentioned in May 2021 )
FURTHER INFORMATION IS NEEDED ABOUT THIS PERSON, THEIR LIFE, THEIR CAREER AND THEIR DEATH.
PLEASE SEND PHOTOS AND INFORMATION TO Cal
Trevor’s cancer should be deemed a HOD from a rescue response incident in Blacktown to a chemical spill.
Trevor Watkins was a Police Rescue Operator who attended the same incident as Ronald Walter McGOWN.
Ron died on the 10 June 1998 within 3 months of being diagnosed with Liver Cancer.
Ron IS mentioned on the Police Wall of Remembrance but Trevor is NOT mentioned on the same wall.
Doctors are reported to have linked the two Police and their disease to the chemical spill event.
Does anyone know the resting place of Trevor. and where his family may be living. I grew up with Trevor and served with hi at Blacktown for a short time in the 1980’s however lost contact.
Hi, this is Hayley, Trevors daughter. My Dads ashes were released into the ocean at Cabarita Beach on the northern NSW coast. My mum and I are still living on the northern NSW coast. We will be following up with having Dads name put on the wall of remembrance.
Hey Hayley, my name is Scott Walsh your dad is my godfather, he was best friends with my father Peter Walsh,
