We are sad to record the passing of Barry (Bazza) Eldridge on 10th November after a long battle with lung cancer and leukemia.
He was a friend to many CTG members and a fount of knowledge on the use of protective coatings that he shared willingly to all who sought his advice, which was based on a lifetime in the coatings industry. He was largely responsible for the introduction of moisture cured urethane technology into Australia and New Zealand, and co-authored a paper on its success and lessons learned that was presented to the 2003 ACA Conference.
His wife Nola died in 2024 and he is survived by his daughter Mel and two grandchildren. He will be missed by many.
