RIP Dick Milnthorpe (23 September 1932 - 30 October 2020)
It is with great sadness that we have learnt that Dick Milnthorpe passed away on 30 October at home. Although he had been experiencing some health issues in the past couple of years, he was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
Dick made an enormous contribution to the growth of Technology at ANZ especially in the UK and international offices in the US and Asia during the 70's and 80's.
Coincidentally, he recently completed a history of IT in ANZ which was in effect the story of his career and achievements with ANZ from the 50’s until his retirement in 1991. A link to this story can be found below this notice.
Dick was 88 and leaves a widow, Pat.
