Wayne Jones dies

Better known as “Snips the Barber” Wayne Jones who for more than 20 years cut the hair of everyone from admirals to junior sailors died late last month after an illness.

From the Ryde district in Sydney, he had a regular beat which took him around the RAN establishments in Sydney.

“On Thursday morning he would be cutting hair at FIMA,” the First Lieutenant at HMAS Kuttabul LEUT Danny Meredith told Navy News.

“On Friday’s you would find him at HMAS Watson. He was well known and well liked. He was often an invited guest to things such as commissionings,” he said.

A funeral service was held for Wayne at Rookwood on Thursday, April 24.
