Titans mourn loss of Hendo

The Jetstar Coast Titans are today mourning the loss of one of their own after the passing of ground announcer and respected radio newsmen Greg `Hendo' Henricks.

Henricks, 54, passed away peacefully with his wife Sue and son Blake by his side at Pindara Hospital.

‘Hendo’ will be remembered as the voice of the Titans, having been ground announcer since the club’s first season in 2007.

He lived and breathed rugby league and was a passionate Wests Tigers fan before the birth of the Titans.

Hendo had a distinguished career as a radio man across 35 years, including 20 years working with Sydney radio station 2WS. He was news director at Gold and Sea FM for four years until retiring late last year due to heath reasons.

Hendo’s bubbly personality and booming ‘Titans’ calls over the PA system at Skilled Park will be sorely missed.
