HUNDREDS laughed, cried and cheered at a moving farewell to controversial former RSL chief Bruce Ruxton, a man who “took aim at anything and anyone”.
At a service and burial at Tewantin on the Sunshine Coast, RSL Victoria president Maj-Gen David McLachlan paid tribute to Mr Ruxton, who was “Mr RSL” for a record 23 years.
He said Mr Ruxton, who died on December 23 aged 85, was “one of life’s most enigmatic men”, known to fire salvos about any issue, from immigration to gays in the army.
“But nothing could detract from what he achieved for veterans and their families. He was a tireless worker who helped thousands ‘doing the job’, as he called it.”
Maj-Gen McLachlan said Mr Ruxton had few regrets, but one was calling Archbishop Desmond Tutu a “witch doctor”.
He recalled one Ruxton quote that then-prime minister Paul Keating “couldn’t lead a person out of the mist in a Turkish bath”.
A well-known leadfoot, Mr Ruxton was often stopped by traffic police, one of whom greeted him with: “Well, Wing Commander Ruxton, where are you flying to today?”
An avid Magpies fan, Mr Ruxton also claimed his parents taught him to say “Collingwood”, before “mother” or “father”.
Mr Ruxton’s nephew, Peter Warr, said: “Jeff Kennett (former Victorian premier) summed him up well when he said he had ‘a big heart and a big mouth and used them both effectively’.”
Mr Ruxton moved to Tewantin a decade ago, and his service was held at the Drysdale Chapel.
Roads were closed for a procession to his burial site at Tewantin Cemetery.
Mr Ruxton is survived by his wife Jill, son Ian, sister Shirley Warr and grandchildren Vivien and Inga-Marie.
