Brett Williams (The Military Workshop) (1 Viewer)

What a terrible shock I woke up to this morning, having only just seen this sad news. When I had my brief 3 year stint in Tasmania Brett was my go to for most of my toy soldier needs.

So friendly and helpful digging out old sets for me. We used to talk regularly about life in Britain and its comparison with Oz.

My condolences to his family and friends.

He will be missed by the collecting fraternity.

I cant believe it as well. Its so sudden and sad. I only found out today and like everyone else I am saddened at the loss of such a top bloke and great dealer and feel deeply for his family. Brett has been my dealer for over 10 years and always looked after me. I only visited the shop once, in 2016, so not the current shop. My son is now a medic in the ADF and is posted near the shop and I was so looking forward to coming up for a visit to the shop and a chat in December when i catch up with my son. RIP Brett, I will miss you greatly mate.

Thanks for posting the details Mark. I spoke with Gerelou this morning and I think she is holding-up well given Brett's death and the many challenges ahead. But I didn't check the address of St. Bernard's Church. Is it at Klumpp Road Upper Mt. Gravatt? Kind regards, Rob
 
Hi There, Brett's funeral is today at 12:30pm (Tuesday 12th November 2024). At this stage I'm unsure if the service will be live streamed, however tributes can be left at this location via the below link for anyone interested.

Just now saw this thread. Didn't know Brett but am saddened to hear the loss of such a stalwart supporter of the TS world and will miss his excellent postings. RIP
 
Just saw this and really sorry to hear. I enjoyed my overseas emails with Brett periodically, I always appreciate someone who makes no bones about his viewpoint, it is refreshing. What a shock.
