I feel like I have know Kohn forever and that wasn’t quite long enough. He was involved when I started at the club and well past my playing into my coaching and then referee days. So great to have know his kindness and generosity - our trips to Ireland will never be the same. Our deepest condolences to the family.

Big John.
Your support of Julz through her rugby career, and how you joined in with us at Sharks on many a bus trip, rugby tour and pitch side across the country will never be forgotten.
Absolute rugby legend.
"Katy, if you could just make touch".
Love Tam and the Sharks family xx
