THE funeral of amateur boxing stalwart Harry Pinkney was held on Friday (September 27).
Meanwood’s Wayne Cunningham stated: “There is nothing I can write that will amount to the selfless dedication of Harrys commitment to Meanwood ABC and the sport of boxing. Harry no doubt has coached hundreds, possibly thousands, who have gone through the doors of Meanwood ABC over the decades, without doubt leaving an inspired impression on each individual to last a life time. Harry’s notable coaching style, gloves up get stuck in and work hard, brought many young individuals tremendous success. His personality and his love for others gave each person a friend for life.
“I would like to offer our condolences to Margaret and Sheila, our club chairman Mike Hall and other family members and friends.”
