Vale John Trevor Watson "Jack" Little, October 2019

We express our deepest sympathy for the loss of Badminton Victoria Life Member, John Trevor Watson Little, otherwise known affectionately as "Jack" in the badminton community.

Jack has been a Badminton Victoria Life Member since 1967. He served as President from 1969 to 1977 as well as President of Badminton Australia in 1972. He was also a recipient of a Badminton Victoria Distinguished Service Award in 1982.

In the 1950s, Jack had the honour of providing a guided tour for Queen Elizabeth of our Victorian Badminton Hall that used to be situated in Albert Park.

About Jack, Badminton Victoria Life Member, Val Nesbitt said. "I remember when I received a medal from Jack at a BV AGM. Being so tall, I had to bend down, so he could pin the medal on my lapel. Big laughs all round - A really nice man."

Our condolences go out to his surviving family and friends.
