  6. Guess what bro. Had your favourite last night. Roast lamb and all the trimmings Gravy and mint sauce and plenty of peas. Hope mum has the oven going and dad will have his long necks and tobacco hidden.Been watching The Chase and the quizz shows but your not here to compete with me. Who is going to sit in your shed with me and listen to your music guessing the song and singer and having a stubbie or 2 or3 while the girls did craft inside. Thank you Wendy for falling in love in a beautiful man. We will cherish our memories always. Until we meet again. Luv ya. Bluey and Rhonda

  14. I was truly saddened to hear of Graeme's passing, when my brother, Brett let me know. My very fond memories of him bring a huge smile to my face. He was a much loved and respected team member at Amezdroz and Menzies, Amezdroz and Son and then Wettenhalls. I will always remember that Graeme was 'more than just a truck driver'. He was always good for a laugh and his banter with other drivers, especially his great mate, Billy Watson was unforgettable. I was really looking forward to catching up with him at the forthcoming reunion. He very proudly made a most remarkable contribution to the project that celebrates the Centenary of the family businesses. Sadly he won't get to celebrate this milestone, but he will always live on in our thoughts. My deepest sympathies. Graeme will be sadly missed.
