  1. My dad, Keith Clifton and Cindy were great mates with love of the Mighty Maggie's. After a loss the meat wasn't quite right for either them.
    I remember Cindy very fondly and wish his family our condolences.

  9. Dear Janet and family,
    So very sad to hear of Cindy's passing..."How ya going brother" was the greeting from the cheeky Cindy as he'd walk into the Birre pub on a Friday night asking everyone in the place how their steak was.....It was 40 years ago that we first met the Maguire family when we moved in next door...I wish we could turn back the clock to those times with all the Birre characters that have slowly passed on...We still love going into Paul and Lyn's shop to give em a laugh and to hear about the Pies......

    Love Steve and Sarah
