VALE KERRY ARTHUR CATTELL
It is with deep sadness that ADF Psychology acknowledges the passing of Kerry Arthur Cattell.
Kerry was my Uncle – though was way more than that. Kerry was instrumental in my decision to enlist in the University of NSW Regiment (UNSWR) in 1979.
Kerry served in the AVF Detachment of the 1st Intelligence Division during the Vietnam War. Upon returning to Australia Kerry continued his career in Metallurgy attaining a global role within Foseco. Many people within that organisation described Kerry as, by far, the best leader they had ever experienced. Kerry learnt many of his leadership skills within the crucible of war.
Following his retirement Kerry invested much of his time in the Cronulla RSL sub-branch. He also was invited onto the Board of the Cronulla RSL Club and served there for 11 years. Kerry was instrumental in helping the Club navigate the COVID19 pandemic.
