Vale Gary Connery

A note for Old Colleagues sadly letting you know of the passing of Gary Connelly. Gary passed away peacefully at home on Friday 1st Feb after a prolonged stint of I’ll health.

Gary a vibrant personality played for the club for three years 1969,1970 and 1971. Gary was an outstanding player at hooker for the club representing for Subbies, winning two  Kentwell Premierships and two Best and Fairest awards.

Described in the 1970 Annual Report as by far the best hooker in the competition, hard working both in the tight and the open.
Gary attended many of the early long lunches and it easy to witness how much he enjoyed being a Colleague.
On behalf of all Colleagues i wish to extend my deepest sympathy to your family and friends at this time.

Family and friends are invited to attend Garry’s funeral at St Francis Xavier Church, MacKenzie St, Lavender Bay on Tuesday 7th February at 1.30 pm.
