In 1926 Garry Lynch enlisted as a member of the Royal Australian Air Force and served in the Middle East during World War II. When he returned from the war he went on to become a mentor and trainer of young tradesmen who were taking up careers in the aviation construction industry that shortly after the war was a feature of industrial life in western Sydney.
Garry was the father of Anita Cobby who was brutally murdered; he and his wife and two other parents of a homicide victim founded the support group known as the 'Homicide Victims Support Group' in 1993.
Over the ensuing years Garry Lynch worked tirelessly to help support people who had lost loved ones to homicide. He would talk to victims at length on the phone and in person, sometimes even in his own home. He would accompany victims to court to support them through the difficult trial process and he was a permanent fixture at the many support group functions, memorial days and Christmas parties.
Garry was also a member of the Serious Offenders Review Board from its creation in 1990 until 1994. The board was responsible for the management of all life-sentence prisoners in New South Wales and met each of the inmates twice a year to review their progress. Garry played a significant role in assisting serious offenders to undergo rehabilitation and prepare them for potential release into the community.
He died at the age of 90 years.
