Malcolm Weir passed away on Saturday 29 October in hospital in Sydney after a short illness at 84 years old.

A funeral will be held at Gerringong Town Hall at 10am on Friday 4 November, with a livestream webcast also available at https://funeralannouncement.com.au/weir-malcolm-robert-oam/

Malcolm was born in Kiama, attended Gerringong Public School and Hurlstone Agricultural High School before spending his whole life dairy farming on his family farm, Buena Vista, in Gerringong.

He was a valued member of the Gerringong community, and a lifelong member of the Gerringong Rural Fire Service, a contribution which earned him an OAM in 2013.

Malcolm was a keen amateur race car driver in his younger years and an enthusiastic caravanner in his later years.

He was very happy to be able to pave the way for daughter Fiona to take over the family farm, although he was unsure in the beginning whether goats were a good idea. Fiona’s handmade goat cheese eventually brought him around and he remained terrificly interested in the goat dairy operations right until the end.

Malcolm leaves behind his wife Gay, and children Fiona, Naomi, Suzanne and Tim. He was Grandpa to eleven grandkids and will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
