Gary THATCHER, son of Laurie, was with old work mates at the Palm Court Restaurant, Corrimal Hotel, Princes Hwy, Corrimal tonight ( Wednesday 12 December 2018 ).

This ‘get together’ was with old Policing Footy Team mates from the Illawarra – who regularly gathered to celebrate old war stories and great times together.

Tonight, about 6pm, Gary was ready to leave the restaurant with his mates and went to the bathroom. At the time he was wearing a moon boot due to a recent operation. Gary was in good spirits when he went into the toilet but a short time later he was found lying on the floor in the bathroom and it is unsure what has occurred and further enquiries by police are continuing.

His friends and colleges commenced CPR until the arrival of Paramedics who took over but unfortunately Gary passed away.

Gary was in good spirits and health and his passing comes as a total shock to all that knew him and were with with him.

Gonad will forever be resting with his father, Laurie.

Funeral details have yet to be arranged.

May the lads forever Rest In Peace.

Wednesday was supposed to be a great day for myself & a group of mates..Xmas Lunch with a bunch of good guys beers & punting, war stories, funny times……we do this 6 times during the year. 13 of us were there on Wednesday (few missing) but only 12 got to go home to their loved ones, family & friends!

But this day we will never forget because of the passing of one of us Gary ‘GONAD’ Thatcher ????????. I’m crying as I write this & all of us will deal with this in our own special way.

Some of us had left, but majority were still there, when Gary had a fall around 6pm. NSW Ambo’s / Paramedics attended & a few of the boys assisted them???????? wow..heartbreaking boys but there was nothing else you could do. Maria & myself ended up getting back to the pub with others who arrived to console everyone, it was heart breaking & sad.

This is hard to say but you know what Gary went doing something he really enjoyed…together with old boys having a giggle, telling war stories, food & beer plus a few bets on the side. It is now a special but sad day in our lives.

Gary was loyal to his mates until his last day, loved his family & would do anything for both. A funny bugger who made us laugh. If you had the chance to work with him in the cops (which I did), he was a good old fashion cop.

Police Footy was special, he loved this from his early days as a Campsie ‘Camel’ to the world famous Wollongong ‘Falcons’….he had a ball, and come to think of it majority of us did, great days playing, enjoying life long friendships, away bus trips & end of season trips away. ???? The Townsville trips to see my good mate Muzza ( RIP ) were up there too. This is hard for us but GONAD you wont be forgotten mate…we all loved you❤

Few mates caught up yesterday which was good.

Look over us as we continue in life….a few photos

Our thoughts,prayers & condolences to his family.

RIP GONAD????????xxoo

VALE LAURIE ANDREWS – A MAGPIE GREAT

by Peter (Parra) Montgomery

Received sad news on the weekend of the sudden death of former much loved Hay-ite Laurie Andrews.

Laurie passed away in Italy on September 1 while on holidays with his partner Annette and friends.

He had celebrated his 71st birthday just a few weeks before, and had been in good health up until his sudden death.

Laurie was a great mate to all who knew him. He was particularly close to his Rugby League mates with the Hay Magpies, and was a regular attendee of functions to do with the Magpies Club, especially involving the 1967 premiership team of which he was a prominent member.

Laurie travelled to Hay in October 2017 to attend the Magpies Presentation Night, and was a chief organsier of the 1967 Premiership Re-union held in Coffs Harbour late last year.

Laurie was an outstanding horseman, and represented Australian in TentPegging, He became involved in TentPegging while he was a member of the Mounted Police in Sydney.

The Australian State Mounted Police also adopted Tentpegging as a demonstration of their skill and horsemanship, participating in demonstrations and competitions at Royal Shows.

The sport got its first international recognition when the Olympic Council of Asia accepted Tentpegging as an official event in the 1982 New Delhi Asian Games. Since then countries have been hosting International Events. 1994 saw the establishment of a World Tentpegging Organization, “International Equestrian Tentpegging Association”. International events are becoming more frequent with growth of the sport in countries such as South Africa, Namibia, India, Pakistan, Israel, Great Britain, Netherlands, USA, Canada, and New Zealand.

Just reading through my ‘archives’ and came across this story I wrote about Laurie and George – two great mates – two brothers who gave 100% effort to the Hay Magpies Club during the mid-late sixties…

Players of the Past – George and Laurie Andrews

During the mid to late sixties a pair of brothers, George and Laurie Andrews from a strong Aussie Rules background made their way to Hay, and almost immediately became an integral part of the Hay Magpies.

They were employed by the late Jack Carver at Toogimbie Station, and soon linked up with Jack’s sons, Phillip and Ray.

Phil and Ray were both playing with the Magpies, and it wasn’t long before the Andrews brothers joined them in the ranks

Although they were Victorians they adapted to Rugby League like ducks to water.

Not only were they tough and un-comprising players, they were also good blokes.

Both George and Laurie have remained firm friends with all their team mates since the sixties and enjoy nothing better than catching up at reunions.

Since he sold his Water Truck in Tamworth and retired George has been a regular visitor to Hay, to catch up with his son (Laurie) daughter (Roslyn) and his grand children

On the field, George and Laurie were different style of players. George, was more a Blue Collar type player. A forward who loved mixing it with the tough players of his era in Group 17.

The game, in those heady days of the sixties, was much more physical, and not as ‘fitness orientated’ as it is now.

Training consisted of a game of touch, laps of the Oval, exercising, and ball handling. High shots, stiff arm tackling and rough house tactics were the order of the day. The ‘survival of the fittest‘.

The tougher the game the more George liked it.

Both the Andrews boys were involved in successive Grand Final appearances for Hay – 1966 and 1967

Laurie was a backline player with silky skills, and tough defence.

He was comfortable at home in the centres or or the wing, and was one of the first blokes picked each week.

Laurie left Hay to join the Mounted Police, and by the time he retired from the Police Force had risen to the position of Licencing Sergeant of the Tamworth District.

George and Laurie were blokes who played huge roles in the strong development of the Magpies Club, both as a successful organisation, and a Club to be respected on the paddock.

Both were players who gave 100% effort. Blokes who helped dig the well others are drinking from now.

Rest in Peace Laurie. You were a great mate and loved by all who knew you. Sincere condolences to Annette your extended family.

Laurie was father of Leila, Lachlan and Alisha Andrews, Step father to Joanne & Shaun Harrison, Kate & Dave Horsley and Rebecca Howat

Adored Poppy Loz to Ali, Nick, Gabbi and Caprice.

Loving brother to George, Judith, Robert and Graham

Members of the Magpies Class of 1967 will remember your mateship with much fondness, and your memory will live on, particularly in the close-knit group of friends.

“Once a Magpie, Always a Magpie” Laurie, a star of the class of 1966, 1967, 1968 Hay Magpies…and a bloody good mate to all who knew him.

ANOTHER DIGGER PASSES

Constable Yorke Hears Last Call

A GALLANT digger, fine comrade and splendid citizen, in the person of Constable J. F. Yorke, ” went west ” at Adamstown quite recently, and Australia is the poorer by his passing.

Son of Mr Robert J. Yorke, a pioneer settler of the Linburn district, deceased spent his early life among us, and won for himself friends among all classes of the community.

When the war drums sounded he, with other young patriots, sprang to arms, and on the other side he did honor to the country which reared him.

As a machine gunner in the 53rd battalion, he fought with the cool courage of a veteran, and returned to Australia with a proud record of service.

The police force then attracted him, and he linked up with the northern branch.

For about 14 years he fulfilled a public duty with the same splendid spirit which characterised his war service, and earned the respect of those among whom he served and the confidence of his officers. The high esteem in which he was held made itself manifest at his funeral, the sad cortege being one of the most impressive seen in the north for many years.

From the War Memorial Institute, Newcastle, marched over 70 members of the police force, including the officer in charge of the division (also representative of the Commissioner). Inspectors Aspery, McAlpine and Davis, and other prominent officials.

A sorrowing widow and six children are left to mourn a devoted husband and father, and their grief is great. His venerable father, who has borne up with great fortitude under the buffetings of adversity, will have the deepest sympathy of the whole district.

Other members of the bereaved family are Mr Stan Yorke (brother). Mrs Drew (sister,. Home Rule), and Mrs B. Pyne (sister, Sydney).

The ” Guardian ” sympathises with the sorrowing family who, however, will. And some consolation in the knowledge that their loved one was held In such universal respect.

The service of the Manchester Unity Independent Order of Oddfellows, of which Constable Yorke had been a member, was read by the Deputy Grand Master ( Bro. G. Kelly ).

Constable Yorke was born at Mudgee 44 years ago.

Death was due to heart trouble and the effects of disabilities sustained at the Great War, where he served three years with the 53rd Battalion.

From memory Di was a General Support Officer ( G.S.O. ) at Wollongong Police Station in the early 1970’s before moving to VKG 2 ( Wollongong ) when VKG 2 was at the old Wollongong Police Station before moving to the new Warilla Police Station, Lake Entrance Rd, Warilla, in the early 1980’s.

Di remained a Comms Officer for many years there before taking up an Administrative job at VKG2.

Di was an active member of the Army Reserves and also the S.E.S. ( State Emergency Service – Wollongong ).

Upon retirement, Di worked at Dapto Leagues Club driving the Clubs bus to transport patrons to and from the Club.

In November 2017, Di was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer and by March 2018 was in Palliative Care at Port Kembla Hospital where she also suffered a Stroke.

Di was basically in an induced sleep over the past few days ( Morphine ) and passed peacefully about 4am this morning.

At this time, funeral details are not known, but when they are – the details on this Memorial page will be updated.

May you forever Rest In Peace Di.

Allan Served with NSWPF for over 25 years before having to take a forced Retirement due to injuries.

Since departing our company in 2007, Allan has become a locomotive driver in order to pay the bills to support his wife Cassie and their six children.

With the sudden death of Allan, times are tough and the bills continue to roll in – together with other bills in association with the sudden and unexpected death of Allan.

In order to assist the family, financially, a gofundme page has been set up by friends and it is requested that any small, or large, amount of money that you can afford to assist this family in their time of grief, will be very much appreciated.

Simply go to the below link and you can immediately transfer funds from your account into the gofundme account to help the family. Their goal, at this time, is only $5,000 and they are half way there but still need a little more help to get them there.

Any donation would be very much appreciated.
