Garry Hincks

[Twodogs]

The actual name of the song is rude ;-) I used to tell people the first sentence in the song included my name.

Kevin Rowland was a typical muso according to that.

Thanks for posting Max. Very sad to hear this.

It is very sad. If I hear any more, I will let everyone know.

My mum loved Garry and he was always up for a chat with her (even knowing she was a North supporter). I have known his sisters since I was a teenager.

[Eastdog]

Sad to hear. I wish Garry well. Could be the best ever supporter for us.

That’s sad news Max. Anyway we can send an e-message to Gary’s family in Portland?

Such a sweet guy. I’ve got a great photo of Gary and me in cheer squad from 4 or so years ago. I treasure it as much as much as the photos I have with players over the years. He is a RWB fan legend.

Sorry to say everyone, that Garry passed away this morning. Very sad news.

Facebook notice from his sister:

Jill Budde
My loved brother Garry Hincks left us peacefully this morning.
To you all thank you for your kind thoughts❣

[Axe Man]

Sorry to hear, RIP Garry.

Hopefully the club will be informed and release a fitting tribute.

Does anybody know if Garry was able to get to the games that had crowds this season?

Bugger was a good bloke glad he got through to 2016.

[Bulldog Revolution]

RIP Garry

Hope wherever you are, you have your feet up and your watching the best of the bulldogs from over the years

[Grantysghost]

Very sad news, what an amazing supporter saw him at many games over the years.

Condolences to his family; RIP Garry.

His dedication to the club and seeing them play was enormous.

One of the last times I saw him at the footy was a Ballarat game and I was able to have a quick chat to him on the train home.

Can you imagine after getting the bus from Portland hopping onto a train trip into the city from Warnambool, a trip up and back from Ballarat and then another train and bus home to Portland via Warnambool?

That's a level of dedication and passion few people have. Vale Garry Hincks

[Happy Days]

In 2019 me and my partner went to Adelaide for our anniversary, which just so happened to coincide with the Dogs playing Port.

The only other Dogs supporter I saw all weekend was Garry at the airport on the way home. When he saw my dogs scarf he came from maybe 30m away to tell me how stoked he was that we won, looking like he was about cry tears of joy the whole time.

Vale Garry. I don’t think it’s possible to love a footy club more than he did and I really hope the club does something to acknowledge him.
