11/7/10 - Vale Peter Tuziak
It is with deep sadness that we pass on the message of the sudden passing of Peter Tuziak. St George District Athletic Club sends out their heartfelt condolences to Kath Tuziak and family. Words cannot express how sorry we are to hear of your sudden loss. Peter was such a highly respected former athletic coach of SGDAC and St George LAC who had spent countless hours over many years devoting his expertise and support around the clock. This support was given to anyone who turned up for his coaching expertise and he was always there in full barracking support mode on competition days. Peter's support meant many became successful under this guidance and this wasn’t just at club level many went on to be some of the very best at state, national and international level.

Funeral service is to be held at the South Chapel, Woronora Cemetery on Monday 19th July 1-3pm. This will be followed by afternoon tea at the cemetery's Forget-Me-Not Cottage. Peter's family has asked people to please dress in black & white (Collingwood colours) or dress in your club's gear. Please, no flowers. There will be time at the end of the formal speeches for people to say a few brief words.
