🕯 Elide Rudzats lit a candle Ivor you are the most selfless person I've known. Your generosity in kind and spirit is unrivalled. I still smile recalling your retirement...walking on your hands playing the mouth organ on Doonside High stage. That memory is deeply etched. On life's balance sheet you gave much more than you received. Vale Ivor w...
🕯 Norman Kirton lit a candle I first met you at an Eastern States Nationals shortly after emigrating in 1973. You were an interesting if not controversial man nut I soon became to respect and admire you. You did an enormous amount of good for the aeromodelling movement in Australia, especially the youth involvement. You were one of the characters...
🕯 Kim Parks lit a candle First time I met you Ivor was as a junior attending my first Nationals in Mandurah 1985. I walked past the Mandurah Motor Inn and saw your old Mazda 929 wagon parked outside reception, packed to the brim with models and covered in red dust from the long drive. Next thing I noticed was your MAAA number - VH1 - "can that be...
🌷 Maris Dislers gave a flower I can trace my interest in old model engines back to the Doonside Mills 0.75 diesel I bought in 1974. The original Mills engines had gone out of production and sensing the need for an easy starting and reliable replacement that a beginner could come to grips with, Ivor set about getting a run on replicas made by Gord...
🕯 John lit a candle Ivor was one of the immortals. I was very sorry to learn of his passing. Ivor taught me English and harmonica at Blacktown Boys High in the late 1960s and I remember him still as my favorite teacher of all time. Ivor had the anarchic streak to his nature that equipped him perfectly to deal with the lunacy of his pupils. He...

🌷 Cliff Coverdale gave a flower Ivor was a most unusual guy. I bought one of his very first Doonside Mills engine and got such joy out of reading the way he wrote his instruction manual. Do's and Dont's of servicing. Chasing contra pistons etc., I remember selling him 60 engines for fifty dollars, for planes for kids. Such a pillar in society and...
🕯 Victor Michalko lit a candle For many ex-students, reminders and reminiscences of the distant past can never be fully corporeal without recalling Ivor Stowe. He was naturally inclined to inspire his students and his classroom was always all-encompassing and all-engaging. He was the lodestar in that grim and acrid cadence that was Blacktown Boy...
