Robert Dow passed away on Tuesday this week after a long illness
Robert is known to many as founder of Brisbane Public Transport advocacy group Rail Back on Track.
He was active here as @ozbob13 and @Robert_Dow and regularly appeared in the media advocating for public transport
Great sadness at the passing of my good friend & Rail Back on Track admin of 20 years, Capt (Ret) Robert Dow.
He served his country, at 19y.o. in VietNam as a Dust-off Medic.
He lectured on pathology at University.
He founded Rail Back on Track.
RIP Robert.
