Gary Passed away at Harrisville on 30 November, 2020, aged 87 years.
Gary played his entire rugby league career for one club, Ipswich Brothers, notching up 14 matches for Queensland and eight tests for Australia in the 1950s and 1960s.
One of Gary’s finest performances was at Greater Manchester in 1959, when he led the Kangaroos forward pack to a 22-14 win in front of an away crowd of 35,000.
He ran out for the Kangaroos again in 1960, as one of the all-Ipswich front row that played in the opening match of the series against France, alongside the late Noel Kelly and Dud Beattie.
And closer to home, Gary scored the match-winning try in the final of the 1958 Bulimba Cup, giving our city the victory over Toowoomba, 15 to 10. That day Jack Reardon wrote in the Courier Mail that the “fiery, cruel tackling forward pack were once again the winning factor” and Gary was instrumental.
He retired from the game in 1962, and has been remembered by the Australian Rugby League Commission Chairman, Peter V’landys AM, as a tough player in a tough era and a gentleman of the game.
Gary is survived by wife, Wyn, children and partners Heather, Gill, Ken, Joy, Cindy, Gary, Steven and Trina, ten grandchildren Clint, Joel, Jade, Kellie, Dane, Matt, Sam, Jack, Harry and Tom, and eleven Great Grandchildren.
To Ipswich, Queensland and Australia, Gary was an icon of rugby league. To the Parcell family, he was grandad or “pop”.
May you rest in peace Gary.

SMART CITIES LEADERS AWARD
The Chief Executive Officer noted that Mayor Teresa Harding received one of four Smart Cities Leaders awards, presented by the Smart Cities Council ANZ. The award recognises an individual who has made a significant contribution to advancing the smart cities movement. In a large part this award recognises Council’s establishment of the Transparency and Integrity Hub. As the first Australian council to do so Ipswich is leading the way in using and publishing data for transparency purposes.
While the award was presented to the Mayor it is an acknowledgement of all of council and the council officers who worked so hard, and fast, to get the Transparency and Integrity Hub up and running. As the Mayor noted in her acceptance speech, it is also recognition of other ‘smart city’ initiatives to ensure this Council is the most transparent in the country, including live streaming all Ordinary AND Committee Meetings.
