VALE Helmut Anfried – WRAG Badminton Convenor.
Born in Austria and moved as a 17 year old, post WW2, to Australia with his mother and siblings (his father died in the war) . Like most migrants his family was sent to Bonegilla and after moving to several places settled in Melbourne.
He worked in several jobs before finding his niche at Telecom.
Helmut Anfried was active for many years in the Committee of Management of the Southern Community Centre until this was taken over in 2018 by Monash City Council.
For many years he was Convenor for the Tuesday evening Badminton Group and played table tennis on Thursdays. He is survived by his wife Ingrid, 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren.
