Late of Adamstown Heights, aged 84 years. Wife Marie, 2 sons, 2 daughters-in-law
Funeral to be held at St Philips Catholic church, Vista Parade Kotara on Wed 19/10/11 @ 10:30 followed by private cremation. Rowan Raymond-Jones advised: Sorry to hear that. I knew John Malone when he was manager at High & Church Sts Maitland branch back in the early sixties. I believe too that he was a good Regional Manager. Noel Smith MBE wrote: I first met John when I was appointed Manager at CBC Cessnock NSw branch in December .1980;
at that time John was my Regional Manager, responsible for the Hunter Region and was located in Newcastle.
I have good memories of our times when he made regular branch visits. He was an easy man to work with and we enjoyed the opportunity of occasional luncheons at some of the many Hunter Valley Wineries.
In subsequent years after I was appointed a Regional Manager at Tamworth, I spent further time with John on our regular visits to sydney for RM meetings and particularly when our Regional offices were relocated to the 36th floor of Qantas House. Those were interesting times, when considerable change occurred. Indeed, I looked forward to experiencing the camaraderie that developed amongst our group of CBC RM's, As a younger RM, those friendships and working relationships made life much easier for me, as it enabled valuable discussion with more experienced bankers on issues and problems of mutual interest and concern. Regretfully, I lost touch withJohn and many other RM's, when I moved offshore in l99l for a period of l2 years.
I will remember John as an honest, caring, loyal and dependable gentleman. lt was a pleasure to work with him. ...and it was a privilege to know him as a friend.
Because of a family commitment I was unable to attend John's funeral, however my thoughts will be with him.
Douglas James MALONEY (March 2014) Kevin Nicol advised: Funeral notice from the "Northern Star" of 25th March. Some years ago Doug Maloney was a relieving officer of the CBC on the Far North Coast. I am not sure whether he resigned or retired from the bank but he didn't belong to our local retired officers group. We have been away and I came across the funeral notice when catching up on back issues of our local paper.
Rob MARCHMENT (2006) - Rob died of a heart attack.
- Rob (Bob) Marchment appears in Current Accounts January 1975 on page 23. He was then Manager, Overseas Dept; Melbourne Office and had attended a four weeks Bankers' Overseas Trade Course at the Reserve Bank of Australia in May, 1974.
- Frank Maundrell went to school with Bob at Macquarie Boys' High in Parramatta and Rydalmere. I think we were both surprised when I arrived at Overseas Dept; Head Office in 1966. He was then handling negotiations under Import Letters of Credit, but went on to higher achievements within the International Banking field.
Stan MARSHALL (29/12/2014) Peter HOCKEN thought I should let you know that Stan Marshall passed away December 29th age 88. His wife Moira contacted Des Andrews and he informed me. I know there will be some in Australia who will remember Stan who retired back in 1982. No doubt you will cascade the news to ex CBC officers. Despite this sad news, and the ghastly events in Paris today, I wish you a Happy New Year. Richard NOTT Stan Marshall was a long term fixture of London Office management team. He and Geoff Hastings were the quintessential “gentleman twins” who inspired me to adjust my more abrasive social demeanor (with limited success). Stan was a gentle epitome of those good and faithful servants, part of the cement of constancy that bound businesses together before they were overtaken by the mad-cap energies needed in the current headstrong competitive markets. It was a balming experience to have spent time with people such as Stan and learn that an occasional delayed sense of urgency is not such a bad thing. Suzanne WATSON Advice re Stan Marshall's passing is sad news and I have very fond memories of 'Mr Marshall' (as I always called him whilst working with him). In September 1973, I entered CBC (as it happened by mistake, as I actually had an interview appointment with The Commonwealth Bank of Australia located opposite CBC in 'Kangaroo Alley' namely Old Jewry) and, in those days as there was no security, I found myself being greeted by Harry Sweeney, Messenger for the 1st floor Management, and I realised my mistake. However, Mr Marshall came out of his office and met me then asked me to sit down and wait for the Personnel Manager (Mr Oakley) to see me as, coincidentally, their Senior Secretary at the time was pregnant and leaving CBC within a month. It was my lucky day when I met Stan Marshall, as I was immediately employed by CBC and spent 19 happy years with the Bank. My sympathies go to Moira and all Stan's family at this sad time.

Bob MATHIESON (29/1/2015) Errol Coles advised that about three months ago lung cancer spread to his second lung and from there to his liver and ... he passed away last Thursday. Errol had been living on the South Coast. Ken Wood: I worked with Bob at Kingston A.C.T. branch for a number of years in the late 60’s. I was Accountant and he was security clerk. For a month we swapped jobs so I could learn security work and help him at being Accountant. His wife (Jenny) worked at our Doctors, across the road from the Accountant’s cottage, and she would ring my Mrs to tell her she had the next appointment. I have been to 4 funerals in the past 3 mos., mostly of people younger than I, having been born in 1936 forcible retired from the bank due to high blood pressure in 1987. It makes me feel real grateful that I can still walk 27 hole of golf per week.
Geoffrey Richard Phillip MATTHEWS (10/10/2018) Norma Patricia McANNALLY Brian McCALL (3/1/1948 -23/1/202129/1/2015) Roger Brooker advised: Courier Mail - Brian McCall passed away peacefully on Saturday the 23rd January 2021. Loved and cherished by his wife Rosalind (dec), parents Mavis (dec) & Raymond (dec), partner Helen, daughter Candice & son-in-law Darrell, son Dale & daughter-in-law Rachael and his grandchildren. Just as he dealt with all experiences in life, he managed his illness with strength, courage and dignity.
I did not work with Brian in the CBC but we were friends later on when we both worked for the Queensland Government (Queensland Rural Adjustment Authority). Brian’s career was best known by others but I know he worked as Accountant at Coorparoo Branch and Managed Wintergarden Branch in the City and Newstead Branch.
He was well thought of at QRAA where he was a Lending Officer as well as mentor for new recruits. He retired from that role in late 2019 due to his illness.
He left the Bank and worked as a Hotel Broker for a number of years. Jeff Rendell advised: t was sad to read of the passing of Brian. I worked with Brian at Coorparoo branch in 1974/1975 where he was the Branch accountant.
Brian was a very jovial and larger than life character, and I learned a great deal from him.
He also has a very loud laugh and when combined with his American / Aussie accent, you certainly knew he was present.
I also recall his taste in dress attire. On occasion he would wear a bright green shirt with dark brown tie with orange polka dots with tartan / check trousers. It was the 70s.
I believe he worked at a number of NSW branches in his younger days and did National Service. He also was Manager of 85 Elizabeth Street Brisbane until that branch merged with Wintergarden branch in 1978.
I was fortunate to be working at Wintergarden at the time along with my wife Wendy.
Wintergarden merged with Brisbane office in 1981 where Brian became one of the Managers there. Later transferring to Newstead.
Gone too soon. Kind regards.
Brian McCARTHY (13/3/09)  Brian's passing was advised by John Beer and Norm White. . Norm White of Bradbury said he worked with Brian at Liverpool and kept in touch for some years after. He attended the service.
Brian suffered from breathing difficultes. Brian's second wife from Phillipines left pan containing oil on the stove where the oil caught on fire to which Brian applied water which splashed back to his throat which caused deeper breathing difficulties from which he did not recover.
Michael Victor McMAHON (1950 - 6/2023) It is with regret that we advise the passing of Michael Victor McMahon, aged 73. Michael joined the CBC Bank at Turramurra Branch in 1965. He served on NSW Relief Staff, various suburban branches, Gosford, Umina Branches and Head Office, Managers Department.
Michael’s sister, Keryn Christie, (née McMahon) also served in the CBC Bank and has supplied Michael’s information. Richard Nott & John Simms were instructors at the Staff Training Centre Kings Cross in the 1960's and over those years hundreds of new joiners washed through the centre and of course one could not remember all of them. However Michael was one who stuck in one's memory due to his bubbly personality and the fact that in physique he was quite small. Some years later we met him again and Richard was amazingly surprised at how much height and stature he had achieved. It would be interesting to know where he retired to and a little about their personal life if available. Thanks for passing on these memorial details.
Bob MEAD (9/4/2010) Helen MEAD (9/2007) Helen MEIKLE (18/6/2011) Kevin Meyer advised of Helen's funeral notice. Helen was Treasurer of the CBC Officers Club for a number of years.
 Geoff Matthews advised: My wife Maureen (0nce Maureen Sweaney) at one time took Helen Meickle's place in the Overseas Department. She can't remember what year. She thinks that Helen then went to London as girls did in those far off days.
Barbara MEYER (24/1/2011) Kevin Meyer notified his wife Barbara's passing that morning. Barbara was an ex-0fficer of the bank and worked at Nowra, where her father Charles Wisehart was the Manager. Barbara was active in the Boomerang Club. Sydney Morning Herald: Passed away suddenly January 24, 2011.
Dearly loved wife of Kevin for 59 years. Much loved mother and mother-in-law of Elizabeth and Michael, Richard (deceased), David and Kathy. Always loved by her four grandchildren and their families: Rebecca, Stephen, Benjamin, Jeremy, Brad and Vanessa and her great-grandchildren Jack and Elijah.
A wonderful wife, mother and friend.
The family and friends of BARBARA were warmly invited to attend her Funeral Service to be held as St Martin's Anglican
Church, Arnold Street, Killara, on Thursday (January 27, 2011), at 1.30 p.m. NAB Retired Officers Newsletter March 2011 advised: Some 400 persons attended the service on Thursday 27th where we were told of the many achievements that she had done in her life. Community help, Probus, Volunteer work for Royal North Shore Hospital nearly 30 years and of the great way she generally looked after others in need, including that of the family for whom she cared a great deal and did everything for them including making lunch and being there when the children came home. A donation of $100 has been made to Cord Blood Research.
Kevin Alexander Meyer, OAM (27/2/1927 - 18/10/2021)   Wayne Linnert, President advised: It is with sadness that I advise the passing of Kevin who was a past President and Life Member of our Club and Patron of CBC Golden Oldies Cricket Club. Kevin was actively involved with both CBC Cricket & Rugby Clubs.
Kevin joined the Bank on 1/10/1942 at Head Office then was transferred to Barraba. From 3/1944 he spent 18 months in R.A.A.F. and resumed duties at Goulburn. Kevin was appointed Accountant at Hamilton in 1956 then Moree in 1957.
His first managerial position was at Launceston in 1959, followed by appointments at Burwood and Bankstown. In 1972 he was appointed Manager International Operations, then Organisation & Methods and subsequently Loans & Funds Development. Kevin was appointed Chief Manager Sydney Office in 1978 and then Assistant General Manager, Corporate & International. He retired on 1/12/1985 as Chief State Manager, Retail Bank NSW & ACT.
Kevin was awarded the Medal of The Order of Australia in General Division AOM in June 2008 for Service to the Community through a range of roles in welfare, charitable and sporting organisations and Service to the Banking industry.
Kevin’s service will be held in the Magnolia Chapel, Macquarie Park Crematorium, Cnr Delhi and Plassey Rds, North Ryde at 11.00am on Friday 19 November 2021. Covid restrictions will apply. All guests must have had double vaccinations. The service will also be live streamed by Gregory & Carr Funeral Directors.
Our sincere sympathy has been extended to Kevin’s family at this time. David JOBSON Very sad to hear this news. If ever there was a Mr CBC it was Kevin Meyer. Always happy for a chat and had your full attention. A real gentleman and astute banker. Condolences to his family. Leon PAYNE I will be in attendance at his service all being well. Jo & Peter BEAUMONT Please send our condolences to Kevin’s family. Unfortunately, we are unable to attend his funeral as we are currently in Adelaide.
Dave BOADLE On behalf of the Boadle family, I offer my sincere condolences to the Meyer family.
I well remember my parents, John and Jeanette, only ever speaking with the greatest respect and fondness for Kevin, with whom they had a long relationship. John left us in 2015, and Jeanette (also a former CBC staff member: they met in Ballarat) is nearing her 89th birthday in a residential aged care facility near my home in Sandy Bay, a suburb of Hobart. Unfortunately Jeanette has become muddled over recent years and would I believe struggle to comprehend news of Kevin's death, but if a moment of clarity arises in her day, I'll gently mention it to her. I sometimes reflect on our family's odyssey around urban and rural Victoria at the behest of the CBC and the impact it had on my childhood; in particular the upheaval for a teenager being relocated to the novel culture of Hobart in the 1970s. It's worked out for the best I guess, but had a strong influence on my career choices that have allowed my children greater continuity of education and friendships. Mary LAMBORN Whilst enjoying a cup of tea after walking to and from Turramurra I separated the Sydney Morning Herald into sections, which is my custom on Saturdays and whilst perusing the main section death notices came across Kevin’s notice and noted his funeral service is to be held on 19 November 2021. I remember Kevin as an international rugby union referee umpiring Wallabies versus All Blacks, plus Lions during the late 1960’s early 1970’s at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Also, on occasions as line umpire when Dr. Roger Vanderfield was the umpire. When he resided in St. Ives, I was introduced to his daughter who was assisting him in the shopping village. At the time I think there was a difference of opinion between both – body language told me. Bob WILMOT Whilst I did not know Kevin all that well, I remember him fondly, and in about 1983/4 I visited Sydney whilst on annual leave. I ventured into NAB House dressed in neat casual clothing, only to be fronted by the desk clerk (read security) advising I could not go up to see Kevin due not being appropriately dressed. I asked the desk clerk to phone Mr Meyer and tell him I would like to see him. To the desk clerk’s surprise Kevin came down to the lobby. We had a nice chat and he said that unless I wore a suit I could not venture up to any level above ground. You could imagine how he described the rules, and finished by saying " It is no longer the good old CBC" Richard NOTT I worked with Kevin at Burwood and O&M plus when in International Helen CADZOW I’m saddened to hear of Kevin’s passing. I had the privilege of meeting him and recording his oral history in 2018. My condolences to his family.
