As reported in the Newcastle Herald: 'DOCTOR Ross Dyer will be remembered as a loving father, grandfather and friend who always put the needs and comfort of others ahead of his own. He passed away suddenly on March 2, aged 59. He had gone for an early morning walk and swim at his favourite spot at Bar Beach, and although he was a strong swimmer, the surf was rough and the waves unusually large. What happened next is unknown, but sadly, Dr Dyer’s body was found by lifeguards that morning. His injuries were consistent with being dumped by a big wave...Dr Dyer’s selflessness and compassion for others will be his legacy. ‘‘When Dad wasn’t working, he was still giving,’’ Stella said. ‘‘He went to Cambodia to treat sick children, he worked in the Solomons, in remote Aboriginal communities and he spent five months in New Zealand helping to build homes for the disadvantaged. ‘‘He had a dream of buying a beautiful tall yacht one day, but he let it go because he felt it was important to give everything he had to those with greater needs.’’'
