  10. Sean, news of your passing has saddened me greatly When I first moved to The Otways, you were a good friend and mentor to me. We spent many enjoyable hours discussing local events , local footy, and your fierce dislike of the British Royal Family which
    always amused me. Always over a beer or two!! Sincere condolences to Linda and the extended Garvey family, from Ian Brown, Deb Schultz and Annie Cobley.
