The Olinda Ferny Creek Football Netball Club was saddened by the news of the passing of Arthur "Choofa" Charteris after a long illness. Choofa became a life member of the club in 1958 and has served many positions within the club on the committee including treasurer for 9 years in the 1950’s. Arthur has also been a very proud life member of the Yarra Valley Mountain District Football League. He has always been a contributor to the club in some form, as player, committee member, supporter and club timekeeper. It is worth noting, on that eventful day in 2009 when the club won an historic 3 football flags at Woori Yallock, Arthur then aged 80, did the timekeeping for all three games.
The funeral will be held in the Le Pine Chapel, 132 Mt Dandenong Rd, Croydon on Thursday 5th January 2012 at 10am.
He will be sadly missed.
