The Vice Chancellor and President of Bond University, Professor Tim Brailsford, has offered the following comments on the death of Eileen Bond, ex-wife of Bond University founder Alan Bond:
“The University extends its deepest sympathies and most heartfelt condolences to the Bond family and Eileen’s many, many friends.
“Red was a great friend and fierce supporter of the University since its establishment.
“She was a regular visitor to campus and attended many events, always bringing her own style and grace.
“The room was always brighter once Red had entered, and her cheeky sense of humour entertained many a crowd.
“The many students, alumni and staff who had the good fortune to meet Eileen will be deeply saddened by her sudden passing but forever grateful for the positive impact and joyous memories that she left with them.
“Our thoughts are with John, Craig and Jody, their spouses and Eileen’s grandchildren.”
