Described by his daughter Robin as the “Grandfather” of the Cronulla Sutherland Water Polo Club, Frank’s insight as a visionary and educator was manifest and exceptional.
For it was he who convened a meeting at Cronulla Surf Club for the purpose of starting a water polo club in the area that would enable local players to become eligible for selection in New South Wales, Australian and Olympic teams.
If Olympic representation is the highest pinnacle of athletic aspiration and one of the prime reasons for the Club's establishment, then our founding Grandfather’s vision has truly become a reality. Frank has delivered to our Community a heritage steeped in endeavor and success and helped build a community that fosters passion, perseverance and pride.
May his spirit live on!
