Alfred Charles McGrath OAM

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to remember Mr Alfred Charles McGrath. Sadly on the 12th of June 2019, Mr McGrath passed away. Mr McGrath, a resident of Oatley, was previously awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia for service to veterans and their families. Alf was the RSL of Australia Oatley Sub-Branch's treasurer and life member since 2002. Additionally, Mr McGrath was also president of Oatley RSL and Community Club from 2005 until 2009, as well as director and life member since 2018. Alf also worked tirelessly with the NSW Fire Brigade being a former senior executive. Further, Mr McGrath was the treasurer of Mortdale Bowling Club and an honorary auditor for Oatley Probus. I had the opportunity to present Alf with a St George Community Award, and in both 2011 and 2012 he was recognised by Council with their Volunteer of the Year award. He also received a Public Service Medal in 1991. Vale Alf.
