Sad to report to you that our Colleague Charlie Micallef passed away at 5am this morning 7.2.2024.
He was very peaceful. Charlie was 84 years old.

Charlie commenced at OTC (A) Queen Street Melbourne in December 1957 in MOR moving through the ranks over the years resigning in 1985 as SITO/Facsimile Operator at Lonsdale Street Melbourne. Charlie’s father Joe also worked OTC as a Storeman from 1957-1967. Charlie was a former Past President of OTVA Melbourne in 2017.
Charlie worked at Armaguard for 46 years retiring in 2015. Charlie and his wife Josie in retirement travelled extensively around the world taking many photos which Charlie shared on Facebook. Charlie’s wife Josie also worked at OTC in Phonograms for a few years.
Late last year Charlie was diagnosed with a tumour in his pancreas.
Our sincere sympathy and condolences to Josie and Loving Family and Friends of Charlie on a Life Well Lived. RIP.
