To Isobel , Stephen, Brett and Nerissa. When I was growing up Max was aways a bit scary bear but the dearest memory I have of Max was a walk around the block we took when I was in my twenties. My fears evaporated, my heart opened and the pussy cat trailed on behind us. I am sorry I didn't visit very often. Much love from an absentee: niece and cousin - Trish

Our sincere sympathy to Isobel, and family on the passing of Max. Max was a wonderful mentor to me and so many in the early days of the Colac Basketball Association. He helped local schools introduce basketball to students and was instrumental in developing and mentoring referees. A wonderful contributor to sport in Colac. Rest In Peace Max.

Mr Arnold. Memories of chats and shenanigans in the Ausyral Top Bar will never be forgotten. Your chats and advice outside of the pub were more valuable and I continue to carry with me.
Time to join Mr Neave at the very "Top Bar" for a 'Bardi and a couple of mystery bets.
Vale.
