Vale Terence (Terry) Semlitzky

Revesby Workers’ Club Life Member and former Club Director.

It is with great sadness that we notify our members of the passing of Terence (‘Terry’) Semlitzky who passed away on Sunday 7 January 2024 age 80.

Terry joined Revesby Workers’ Club on 13 April 1966, and proudly served as a Director for 25 years from 26 September 1993 until 28 October 2018, whereby he was the Liaison Director for Revesby Workers’ Billiards and Snooker, Darts, Domino, Fishing, Softball Clubs and Revesby Bowling Fishing Club.

In 2003 he was awarded Life Membership of Revesby Workers’ for his considerable and ongoing contributions to the Club. He was also recognised by his local community receiving the Canterbury-Bankstown ‘Volunteer of the Year’ award in 2020 for his years of volunteering at local community causes, sharing his musical talents with the children at the Tree House Early Childhood Centre and regularly visiting aged care facilities.

A dedicated member of the Club’s Bill Bullard Charity Foundation Committee, along with his wife Sue and daughter Vanessa, who together for more than 27 years ran the well-known Annual Charity Trivia Night, which had raised over $55,000 for the foundation, in support of local community charities and programs.

Terry’s active involvement in both Darts and Fishing social clubs saw him compete and win in many team championships, including the first Bankstown Open Singles in 1978, the Club Doubles with Bill Woods in 1985, State Fours, Sixes and various other competitions. He also won the Fishing Club championships six times and caught the biggest ‘Fish of the Year’ in 1986. Terry’s active involvement in both clubs was also recognised with Life Memberships.

Terence (‘Terry’) Semlitzky will be fondly missed, but remembered as a proud and loyal member, respected Director, a keen competitor, and for his selfless dedication to his community.

The Board, Management and staff express their deepest condolences in Terry’s passing and their thoughts are with Terry’s wife Sue, his children Dean and Vanessa and his little granddaughter Bonnie during this difficult time.
