As we prepare to say our final farewell to the Godfather of Rigging – Reginald Lindsay Dew – at his Celebration of Life in Sydney tomorrow, we thought we’d share this lovely article written about Reg in the About Regional by journalist Marion Williams.
Excerpt:
Reg Dew, the father of riggers, lived his life to the full. He travelled the world working on big projects and touring with the world’s biggest bands.
Reg counted David Bowie, Joe Cocker and Madonna among his friends. He worked on the 2000 Olympics’ opening and closing ceremonies, and built stages for Pope John Paul II and Pope Paul VI, as well as for American evangelist Billy Graham. Reg passed away on 5 October, aged 90.
