A tribute to our beloved son and one of a kind human being Vernon \u2013 By Marie Wambeek<\/u><\/u><\/u>\u00a0<\/strong><\/u><\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Vernon<\/a>Vernon Glen Wambeek<\/strong> was our eldest son, named after his father Vernon however everyone knew him as Glen. He studied at Wesley College in Colombo where he ended up becoming a prefect. He was into various sports including Rugby, Cricket and Athletics, in addition to being a Judo National Champion. He also took part in school plays; his most memorable role was when he played Julius Caesar in a Shakespearean Drama Competition which he ended up winning.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Glen moved to Australia in 1977 and started his career in the hotel industry, eventually opening up his own restaurant in Crows Nest known as the \u2018Rangoon Racquet Club\u2019. It was voted one of the top restaurants in New South Wales.\u00a0My son was a hard worker; he worked tirelessly to build his company over 29 years. He also wanted to pay it forward, which involved enrolling in a mentor program at a local school. While he gained much satisfaction from his work and achievements, his pride and joy were his 2 sons. Losing Glen 2 years ago is a heartache that my husband Vernon and I have to bear. We will hold on to our memories of our kind, generous and loving son. We will miss him every day for the rest of our lives.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n
