By Penrith RSL sub-Branch 

IT is with great sadness that we share the passing of Mr John Fenton, Vice President of the City of Penrith RSL sub-Branch. John passed away with his family by his side on Sunday 22 Mar 26.

John was an Army Officer, a Vietnam Veteran and a highly respected, dedicated and compassionate Veteran Advocate who supported thousands of NSW Veterans over the years. He was a respected Executive Committee Member (VP) and always fought for improved respect and honor for all Veterans, regardless. 

He was a dedicated Volunteer Veteran, always driving improvements and support for the benefit of others, he was selfless and a true inspiration for many to emulate. John was a loved and respected gentlemen within our Veteran Community, an honorable representative who loved to mix it with all people with a deep drive, and passion to make changes and improve the services available to Veterans locally. Mr John Fenton was loved by many, and he will be sorely missed.
