PHILIP DOUGLAS HANBURY 19/1/1951 – 9/3/2020
Family, friends and work colleagues are deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Phil Hanbury, who was known amongst many to be a real gentleman.
Dearly loved husband of Lorraine, much loved father and father-in-law of Terry, Ian and Michael and loving grandfather of Samuel and James.
Phil, spent the first 24 years of his working life at Comsteel, then moved into health taking on the role of Chief Engineer at Calvary Mater Hospital from 1991. In 2008, Phil took up the position within Hunter New England Local Health District as Manager, Compliance, Essential Services & Contracts. During his time in Health, Phil became involved with the NSW-ACT Branch of the IHEA and has been a member for over 15 years.
Phil loved his job and he loved interacting with people, whether it was work colleagues, contractors or patients. No-one could ever question his work ethics or passion for the role he played within HNE Health. The health system is a better place for the years of dedication that Phil gave, especially to the Mater. The Mater was Phil’s second home, and some of the people that work there, he thought of as part of his family. Phil was well loved and will be dearly missed by all; he was definitely one in a million.
Phil was a great bloke, never short of a word and would openly speak his mind and we were so lucky to have him in our lives.
Rest in Peace Mate
