To our beautiful beloved backpackers of the OFS!

We want to extend our heartfelt prayers and gratitude to you all. What a 24 hours it us been.
Firstly we would like to say thank you to all for being patient with us, we can’t comprehend how this has affected you all.
We hear you all when you say you have not been provided with adequate food for your dietary requirements or support through this difficult time. We’re shocked that we have been so unsupported by our government and left to deal with this on our own, deciding ourself to go into a lockdown when we found out we had a guest with COVID. We’re sorry you were put at risk. We cannot wait to see your faces walking out of that hotel and taking your first few breaths of fresh air.
We tried all day and our very best to keep you all together in the OFS to isolate but the decision was made by WA Health to move you and we were unable to change that decision.
It’s broke my heart standing up there, seeing all of your beautiful faces telling you it’s time to pack your belongings. You were stubborn, fearless but understanding and we admire your ability to stick together through trying times.
The Old Fire Station Backpackers will support you all with what we can. They may seperate us, but they will not stop us from coming back even stronger..with a party to remember. We will be waiting for you.

An old OFS family member and friend Kalen Gettler wrote to Maria & Bruce yesterday morning with this very sad news of the passing of an OFS legend Kenny Toch 💚

Kalen writes ...when I showed up at the Old Fire Station in January 2007 Kenny was already there. He was one of the first friends I made. Along with, Jonas Hallerth, David Larson, Swiss Chris, Ed Pesque, a handful of Irish (you know who you are), and not long after, Stefan Pausch showed up with dreadlocks down to his ass.

There’s not a memory I have of that place that doesn’t involve Kenny Toch. He’s in more than half of my old photos. He was literally friends with every person there, he had kindest heart and a knack for finding the “Craic”. When I left in November 2007 (holy crap 8 months.... 7 months longer than I intended) he was standing out front waving as I drove away.

After a year in New Zealand, I inevitably made my way back to Freo (who could stay away?) where Kenny headed the welcoming committee and when I left again in June 2099 he was standing out front as I headed to the airport in tears.

To me, he embodied everything that the OFS was for all of us; A home so very far from home, a family of loving strangers, an unparalleled zest for life, and some real bangers in the back courtyard.
Anyone who ever had the honour to meet Kenny knows that he was one in a million.

This morning was his last day on this earth, he left on his own terms and most of us never saw it coming, because, although most of us still keep in touch, he didn’t even tell us he was sick until yesterday.

Kenny Toch is a true OFS LEGEND and one of the best people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. He will not be forgotten ♥️

Vale Kenny Toch from all at The Old Fire Station ♥️ 🔥
