The Colac district farewelled one its sporting treasures this month when Harry Salmon died. His daughter Evelyn Allan penned this tribute about her dad, who was a champion cyclist, talented footballer and a dominant performer on the bowling green later in life. Harry was also a father to six children, 19 grandchildren, 26 great-grandchildren and even one great-great grandchild, living life to the fullest during his 96 years.
