Many in the Hawkesbury community are mourning the death of a 17-year-old youth who died in a car accident on Friday night in Penrith.
The former Bede Polding College student – Philip Vassallo – will be remembered by his family and friends as the one who always wore a smile, the one they could always rely on and as someone who could brighten anyone’s darkest day.
Mr Vassallo died when the Datsun ute he was driving collided with a Hilux ute on Andrews Road, just after 10pm on Friday.
