Veteran journalist Jack Metta passes away

A colleague and one of Papua New Guinea's journalism’s stalwarts, JACK METTA, passed away last night. 
The late Jack Metta...someone who loved life
 
It is a sad occasion for those of us who knew him as a friend, journalist, columnist, editor and mentor for so many years.
He was one of our star footballers rising up to be an unstoppable forward for the Kumuls, has covered all areas of journalism including that of being Sports Editor of the now defunct Niugini Nius and has worked for nearly a decade at The National where he was sub-editor and commentator.
For those of you in Port Moresby if you are able, take time to spend a few moments at his haus krai near the 3-Mile Port Moresby Hospital where his home is
