Vale Dom Lopez OAM
As a mark of civic respect flags at the Council Chambers are flying at half mast today in memory of Councillor Dom Lopez who passed away early last night.
Dom was a five term Mayor, his last being in 2008/09 when he led the current Council. First elected in 1968, he served until 1977 when he did not seek re-election and then again from September 1980 to his passing.
He was awarded the Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) in the 1994 Australia Day Honours List for his service to Local Government and in 2001 the Centenary Medal for service to the Mosman community as a long-serving Councillor and Mayor.
Funeral arrangements announced by the family:
10:30am on Tuesday, 31 January, at Blessed Sacrament, Clifton Gardens.
No flowers by request. Donations in lieu to The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse at RPA.

Hundreds attended the funeral service for Dom Lopez OAM at Blessed Sacrament Church, Clifton Gardens.
Following the service, the cortege with police escort proceeded along Bradleys Head Road and Military Road pausing at the former Lopez fruit shop, Dom’s home at 830 Military Road and at the Council Chambers.
It was a great send-off. Dom would have loved it!
