BOW Bowing resident Brian Kearney devotes four days a week to sharing his knowledge with others and teaching the over 55s at Campbelltown Senior Cyber Seekers.
Mr Kearney, 77, a father of three and grandfather of seven, has been nominated for a Pride of Australia Medal in recognition of his efforts through the computer club for seniors.
“I wanted to share my knowledge with people,’’ Mr Kearney said of joining the Campbelltown group.
The nomination follows Mr Kearney being named the Senior Volunteer of the Year at the Sydney South West/Macarthur Volunteer of the Year Awards in September.
Mr Kearney, a retired aircraft maintenance engineer, joined the cyberseekers as a tutor 15 years ago after his wife Patricia died.
He is one of 10 tutors who help 50 to 60 people each week
