Tribute to Andrew Findlay

Tribute to Kerry Paki

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore) (16:04:14):

I acknowledge the recent passing of two of our beloved Mosman Junior Rugby Club [MJRC] parents, Andrew Findlay and Kerry Paki. It has been a heartbreaking week for our MJRC community. Andrew Findlay, who played for Mosman, tragically lost his life at 51. He was a loving father to three amazing children, Iggy in the under-10s, and Lexi and Toby, who also play for MJRC. His wife, Lizzie Kemp, is also a valued community member as the under-10s age group manager.

We also mourn the sudden loss of Kerry Paki, a treasured member of our community who tragically lost her life at 42. Kerry was a loving mother to her four beautiful children, Thomas in the under-12s, Abbey, Emily and new baby Lucy. She was a loving wife to Bardia, who has been a devoted coach to the MJRC for the past five years. Kerry brought passion and commitment to the players of the age group. My deepest condolences and the condolences of our community go out to the families. I offer my sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Mosman Junior Rugby Club community at this extremely sad time.
