In memory of Franc Carter, 1968-2022

By Travers Carter

Franc was diagnosed with stage 4 Colorectal cancer in mid 2021.  Approximately 15,000 new cases of Colorectal cancer were diagnosed in Australian in 2021, representing around 10% of all new cancer diagnoses in 2021 in Australia, with slightly more than 5,000 deaths in Australia 2021 alone.

Sadly, despite some success in his initial treatment, Franc passed away as a result of his cancer on June 24th 2022, slightly over one year after his diagnosis.

In his memory, we would like to encourage you to donate to the to the Garvin Institute, in the hopes that their research can improve the chances for survival, and quality of life for people affected by all types of cancer in the future.

Thank You,
Franc's Family.

Franc and I used to be good mates, but we drifted apart over the years as friends do sometimes. It's shocking and surreal to have found out he was so sick. I'm sorry we lost touch, and distraught that we never had the chance to reconnect. He was a deep thinker and a good-hearted man (despite his attempts to pretend otherwise sometimes, in the case of the latter). I'll miss him.

I’ve not met you Travers, but if you are half the man that Franc was it’s my loss.

Dear Franc the trouble with trying to establish your image as a grumpy bugger was that we all saw you as warm, generous of mind and spirit, deep thinking, with a mischievous sense of humour and a contagious laugh. It was a privilege to know you.
