VALE IAN BOURKE

It is with great sadness we inform you of the passing of our beloved Club President and Life Member Ian Bourke, who passed away peacefully today.

Ian served with distinction on our Board of Directors for over 19 years and as President for the past 12 years. Ian’s core focus was to improve the lives of our Members and the community, epitomising the philosophy in which Cronulla RSL is founded upon.

Guided by Ian’s leadership, Cronulla RSL has undergone significant transformation and growth.

The Board, Management and Staff extend our deepest condolences to Ian’s wife Ann and his daughter Stephanie at this difficult time. Ian will be missed by us all who fondly chatted with him as he checked on his beloved Club regularly.

We are forever grateful for Ian’s dedication and leadership.
