  7. Dad, I fondly remember all of our times spent together, I learnt so much from you. I was your tomboy who loved building, fishing, chopping wood and who was never far from your side. Always picking up your tricks of the trade however 'bushman’ like they were,
    I'll never forget the Tina Turner and John
    Farnham concert you took me to which was just a big rage, we sang and sang our hearts out all night, wow what a night to remember.
    My little dog 'Beau' misses you madly too!
    We all will miss your morning visits for coffee and chats - your memory will always be in our hearts forever, sleep tight you are at peace Dad, our life's experiences are embedded in our memories of you forever, rest in peace!
    Love always, Cynthia & Rod

  10. Pa, we are heartbroken to say the very least.
    What an honour to have known you, loved you, and been loved by you in return.
    I’ve always tried my best to make you proud, and absorb your qualities that I admire (a great work ethic, a take-me-or-leave-me attitude, the best sense of humour in the room, and having the biggest heart but keeping it hidden).
    No length of time together was ever going to be enough!
    Rest easy now Pa xx
    Love Hope & Alli
