Vale Jim Marshall
It was with deep sadness that the NSW Working Stock Dog Association learned today of the death of long-time member and highly respected working dog handler Jim Marshall, of Scone.
Jim has been a member of the association since its inception and was integral in ensuring the success of the organization in the early years.
He has been described as a gentleman and a genuine good bloke as well as being a good friend and mentor to many.
As well as being an active NSWWSDA committee member, Jim was a highly regarded cattle and sheep dog trialler.
The association extends its sincere sympathy to Jim's wife Noreen and their family.
