John Crowley Wonderful man. Norm was one of the 128 NSW Police who served with the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus (UNCIVPOL). For the past 30 years Norm was our passionate leader in fighting for justice for repatriation rights for our members (even though he had his own health problems). Army, Navy and Air Force automatically got it, (plus a generous daily allowance), whereas Police were not recognised (even though Cyprus was a War Zone and they worked side by side in Timor and the Solomons). Without Norm’s determination, expertise and passion we would not have stood a chance. We are forever grateful. To Norm’s wife Pam and the rest of his family we extend our deepest condolences. R.I.P. “True Blue” .
peacefully passed away at home with his beloved wife Lorraine by his side.
Adored stepfather of Shane Long & Karen Ormandy.
Youngest brother to Cyril and Charlie (both dec’d).

Regarding the death of Greg Nicol. An old school Balmain copper heavily involved with the Balmain Police Boys Club (as it was known back in the day).
It is with deepest sorrow we inform you that Gregor Thomas Nicol ( Sgt Nicol) passed away peacefully at 10:10am 23/04/17, surrounded with kindness, affection and care.
He impacted the lives of so many people and we, his family, will be so lost without him.
John ElfesOh shit, RIP Gregor, he was at Bondi, then came over to C Dist about 1986 and ran the District Anti Theft Squad for a while, not sure what happened.
Kevin PiperYes mate went there from Central. I first met him in 1976. Champion fella. Big as a house. Used to carry a 50lb steel ball to work in his Gladstone bag, just for training…!
John ElfesI know he was big on police sport, had arms that could carry that mini he used to drive. I’ve shared this on my profile for those of us ex Anti theft people who had him as the boss.
Graham MarandaRIP good Sir. I worked with Gregor 1988 – 1989. Bonza bloke who loved life. I last spoke with Gregor about 4 years back at a golf day. From memory his ticker was playing up here and there along the last 20 years of his life.
Kevin PiperCondolences to you and the family. I worked with Greg between 1976 and 1979 at Central Police Station No. 1 Division. To keep his arms in condition he used to carry a 50 pound (23 kg) steel ball to and from work every shift in his Gladstone bag. Here’s a little feel-good story. Way back in the 1970’s we were involved in a car chase after a criminal. Greg was the senior man on the Ford F100 caged truck with a Constable Dennis Northey driving. I was in a car nearby and headed off to assist. The Chase went north across the harbour bridge, and turned back, travelling south. As the crim’s car went through the toll plaza boom gates, ( There used to be a 20cent toll on the bridge ), the boom gate lowered, and Dennis kept going, smashing through the gate. The Chase continued along the Cahill Expressway and onto Macquarie Street, where the crim stopped, jumped out and ran off, jumping a very large set of solid double wooden gates. As I stopped at the spot, I saw Dennis climbing over the gates. Greg jumped out of the truck, and ran full pelt toward the gates, smashing into them with his frame, which burst them open. Dennis was on top of the gates swinging back and forth, as we entered through the gates and saw the crim out cold on the ground. He had been hiding behind the gates, and the force with which Greg hit those gates, caused them to swing out with so much force it knocked the crim out. A wonderful man, and a huge loss to your family.
Richard ConroyVery sad day throughout my youth at Balmain Police Boys Club Greg Nichols was a great role model along with George Stone. Greg was bigger than life and was a good old style copper RIP.
Tania Rodger Yeah I remember Greg Aunty Sandra he lived across the road from us in Bruce street when I lived with Dad and Nan with his wife and 3 daughters.He also was then at little athletics when Bec did it
Top State competitors will give Holroyd Amateur Athletic Club a boost next season with coaching assistance.
Reg Tarte will give advice to the club’s walkers and Greg Nicol will coach the javelin throwers. His influence has already shown in the times of Holroyd members Richard Kidd and Russell Jenkins, both 14-year-olds.
Russell Jenkins recently won the Western Suburbs and NSW Walkers’ Club trophy in the fast time of 28 minutes, 44 seconds for three miles. Jenkins has improved his time over distance events by two minutes a mile. Officials claim this improvement should lead to his selection in the NSW sub-junior team (under 17) soon.
The club hopes to improve in javelin events following the coaching by Greg Nicol. He is the reigning State champion and has also won the decathlon title in this State. The club’s coaching on Tuesday and Thursday nights is at present serving a dual purpose.

Geoffrey Louis LEONARD
aka Geoff
Late of Taree
New South Wales Police Force
Redfern Police Academy Class 135
Regd. # 15832
Rank: Commenced Training at Redfern Police Academy on Monday 21 May 1973 ( aged 19 years, 11 months, 21 days )
Probationary Constable – appointed 2 July 1973 ( aged
It is with a heavy heart and sadness that I inform you of the passing of Detective Inspector Geoffrey Louis LEONARD, Reg. No. 15832, who faithfully and loyally served the NSWPF and the community of NSW from the 21/05/1973 to 24/11/2011
I spoke with his wife Ave this morning and she told me that Geoff passed away peacefully in his bed at Taree Hospital about 3.00am this morning surrounded by his family (Ave, his daughter Kate, son Geoff Jnr and his three brothers).
Ave said that Geoff was prepared and at peace with himself. I passed on all your best wishes and sympathies to her and her family.
I am sure you will join me for a minutes silence in recognising a decent man and a bloody good cop.
Ave has indicated that Geoff and she would like to have Police involvement in his funeral and I will advise you when I have the details.
I have attached a couple of documents to the email from Geoff‘s farewell and I am hoping it may raise a smile.
Please feel free to pass on to those that knew and worked with Geoff.
He was, as I said, a decent man.
(The email was written by Det Insp Andy Waterman)

I was 7 months pregnant with my daughter when Geoff and I had to embark upon a country trip to interview a colleague in relation to an Ombudsmans complaint (that went on and on and on) in early 1997.
The interview was in Lismore – however Inspector Leonard was convinced by Sergeant Me to stay at Byron Bay (as he should have).
We shared a twin room and the snoring between us both was a competition. The darling man soon realised that eating well, stopping at every single antique shop or basically anywhere I wanted was the priority that trip. I concede that because his son collected golf tees we visited a few golf courses – including beautiful Bonville in Coffs Harbour … He clearly adored his son as he even suggested to me (in all seriousness) that we travel ‘slightly out of area’ to some bloody golf club in the Gold Coast!! True to his beautiful nature … Geoff Leonard listened to the wise words of his junior colleague – and instead finished the interview and stopped at Timbertown, and even Morpeth in the Hunter Valley because of the needs of a pregnant woman.
This man was a legend putting up with me that trip. Beautiful, wonderful man…… this has come as such a shock to me. I seriously thought of him last Thursday morning after a Police Reunion… wondering how he was going.
The post was beautifully written Michael Lewis…. I’m so glad that he was at peace – he and his beloved family deserve it.
