It was a sad day and had a very special meaning as their treasured friend, Michael Kailis (’50) had passed away only two weeks earlier. The day started with a special visit from Michael’s son, Theo, who spoke of his father and how he valued his deep connection and friendship with his CBC mates. He said that his Dad’s approach to life was ‘stand tall, go hard, be courageous and, above all, do it with passion’. A lovely photo of Michael on his horse from the early 1980s was displayed for everyone to enjoy and reminisce on. Theo generously arranged a glass of bubbles for each attendee and a toast was made to Michael with the group having one minute’s silence in honour of their mate. Br Basil Hickey (’52) said Grace and former classmate, Kevin Hogan (’50) gave a touching tribute to Michael Kailis, saying “He was a friend to all and did so much for his beloved CBC Perth mates”. The deep admiration this group had for Michael was obvious. We warmly thank Theo and his staff for their hospitality and looking after these wonderful men.
