It is with great sadness that I inform you that Verne Jack passed away last night. His family has asked the school athletics community be informed.
Those of you who knew Verne will understand what a great loss this is to our association. Verne retired at the end of 1996 after many, many years of service to both Townsville and Northern Region School Sport. Verne was involved in many sports over the years serving as a committee member on the netball, softball and athletics sub-committees. He then continued to volunteer his time during all of our athletics carnivals at a district, regional and state level right up until last year.
Red Track just won't be the same without him!
Toni Wilson, Secretary, Townsville School Sport athletics sub-committee
