  18. To my Uncle & Godfather, although we know it is a part of life, we are never prepared to say goodbye forever. It feels like I have blinked and my time with you is gone. Although life can be cruel, it can also be beautiful -my time with you was a testament to the beauty. Time is precious, and I am forever thankful that I was able to spend time with you before you passed. It’s sorrowful to see you go but a relief to know you are no longer in pain. If there’s one thing you have taught me with great importance, is that family always comes first- you exhibited this every day, and I will carry this learning for the rest of my life. You consoled me through tough times and guided me on my path through life, to which I will always be grateful. You have left only beautiful memories that I will cherish forever. Gone yet not forgotten, although there is distance between us now, your memory lives within me, forever in my heart & soul, uncle.

  55. Condolences to Dayle's family, his brothers and sisters and all extended family. There was not a hell of a lot more this ripper young bloke could have packed into his time walking amongst us. He has been called home after a massive fight and left with us all a truck load of fond and beautiful memories. From a kid kicking dew of the grass to becoming a dedicated family man, it has been my pleasure to have called him a friend on the whole journey. His family was his highest priority and his mates knew who they were, loyal as the day is long, an example of a true blue Aussie bloke. A beer in hand, a fag in the gob and spinning a joke or a yarn was a trade mark and he could make any bugger laugh with his jovial fun loving persona. You will be sadly missed by your loving family Browny and equally by all your mates. RIP Champ.... Hot Rod.
