To Jenni, Chevy and family,
it is with much sadness that I was informed of the passing of legendary Chris Pianto. He fought a tough fight to bring awareness to the community regarding the abuse at the hands of the Catholic Church institution.
Mum (Flora Read) had immense respect, as did I.
RIP Chris.Bernie (Bernadette) Read.

It's so sad to hear the passing of Chris ( Jack )
He was a Drysdale legend with a great sense of humour and would give you the shirt off his back.
Many great memories with Jack, the Palace in Drysdale, the Drysdale pub and just everywhere.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Jacks loved ones, family and friends.
Rest in peace Jack.
