DVBA LOSES A TRUE SERVANT OF THE COMMUNITY

It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of Andrew Meikle.

For those who've been associated with Diamond Valley basketball over the past decade, it's likely you knew Andrew. For Andrew Meikle was a true servant of his community. Nothing was a bother for Andrew, if a job needed doing he put his hand up and did it without a fuss. A friendly face, always smiling, always happy to talk to people, that was Andrew.

Having joined the Apollo Basketball Club committee in 2003, Andrew served as Treasurer, Boys Coordinator, Vice President and President. All while also coaching many teams, that at times had everyone else's children in them, accept his. That didn't worry Andrew, the players needed a coach, so he just did it. Unofficially Andrew pretty much did every other job there was at some time or another as well.

Andrew was also Grading Secretary for the DV U12s for many seasons and helped managed all Grading for the association recently.

Andrew was the face and heart of Apollo basketball.

Our thoughts are with Sandra, Lauren, Adam and family.

Forever missed, but never to be forgotten, Rest up Andrew Love always.

The Apollo Basketball Club Committee (Past and present)

The funeral will be held at Heidelberg Golf Club, Main Road Lower Plenty, this Friday 26 July at 2.30pm.
