A VALUED member of the Melbourne Football Club family, all were saddened to hear of the recent passing of Barrie Ravell. 

A much loved and trusted father figure to generations of our players, as well as a dedicated volunteer, Barrie and his wife Joan fostered connections and cared for many, taking them to the heart of the Club. 

All will miss Barrie greatly.  We offer our most sincere condolences and shared sorrow to Joan and the entire Ravell family.

The funeral for Barrie Ravell will be held in the John Allison/Monkhouse Chapel, 124 Carpenter Street, Brighton on Monday, 17 January 2011, starting at 2.30 pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Epworth Richmond would be appreciated.
