Husband of Christine,

Father of Chantel ( 21 ) & Bradley ( 19 ),

Brother to Retired NSWPF Member – Kelly French ( # ????? ) & Brother-in-law to Serving Member Insp. Matt French ( # ????? – Kempsey ).

 

Paul, unfortunately, was still suffering from work related PTSD – even after Retiring from the NSW Police Force.

He collapsed, at home, whilst suffered a heart attack.

His daughter-in-law, Bree, bravely performed CPR until the Paramedics arrived, who then took over CPR and transported him to Coffs Harbour Hospital however Paul did not respond to the treatment and passed away at the Hospital a short time after arrival.

It is hoped that he did not suffer.

May Thornys family remember the good times and know that they did everything possible when needed.

Thorny ” bled blue ” and being part of the Police Force meant the world to him – as too, did his family – even through the darkest hours.

May Thorny forever Rest In Peace.
