Assembly memorial minute 1961
While working in his garden in the Streatham manse, the Rev. Wilfrid Redvers Faulkner died on July l7th, 1961 at the age of sixty-one years.
His birth was registered at Lincoln, England, but actually he was bom at sea.
In addition to being a chaplain in the Second World War, he served the Presbyterian Church in four states. He trained at Emmanual College, Brisbane, was ordained at Ipswich in 1936 and was called to Bangalow-Byron Bay, N.S.W. in September 1938. After his war service, he was called to Tallangatta, Victoria, in September 1948 and moved from there to Burnie - Ulverstone, Tasmania, in 1952. Thereafter he transferred to Streatham, Victoria, in October 1957.
An evangelical preacher, he had great organising ability and possessed notable talents outside the sphere of his regular ministry, being a pianist and organist of note and an artist who held several exhibitions of his paintings.
He leaves a widow, two sons and two daughters, and to these the Assembly express their sincere sympathy.
