Vale John Moore

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—Speaker, I want to acknowledge the recent passing of local resident Lt. Col. John Moore, OAM RFD ED. John sadly died in September due to a debilitating illness. I had the pleasure of meeting John in 2018 when he received a local Seniors Award. Seniors Awards recognise individuals for their contribution to the community, and I want to acknowledge John's legacy. John has served as National Executive Officer and NSW deputy Chairman of the Reserve Forces Day Council, NSW Chairman of Rail Trails for NSW, and CEO of Saluting Monash Council. John was a member of Australia's Defence Reserves and was community-minded, focused, committed, passionate, and determined to make a difference in the lives of others. I want to thank Lynette Scott, who has volunteered alongside John for many years, for reaching out to me to advise of John's passing, and who originally nominated John for his Seniors Award. I extend my deepest sympathies to John's family and friends, including Lynette in the broader community. I thank John for his service to our country and our state. Vale John.
