From the April 11th Leader Community Newspapers.

Matthew Morris, 89, the oldest remaining survivor of the AHS Centaur, died April 9th in Ringwood, Australia. He was 23 when the ship was sunk in 1943.

despite advanced dementia, it was clear that he still was haunted by the memories. Recently he was interviewed and said, "I wish I had never seen that ship."

The funeral was yesterday, April 13th and fellow Centaur survivor Marty Pash, 89, was there and said "He was a great mate" about Mr. Morris.

A sad Part of History.
