  4. Our Dad was an incredible father. He provided for his family and made sure us kids had the guidance we needed. I am so proud of my dad and I’ll miss him everyday.

    Today l am remembering my dad and the great memories dad and l shared. Dad was one of a kind and my best mate. I will think of you dad every day with a tear and a smile.

    My dad was my biggest fan and my greatest roll model, l could call dad up at any time and dad would always have a solution to my problem. Life is going to be different with out you dad but l am proud and grateful l got to call him my DAD.

    He was a jokester and he made us all laugh. He was all way in good spirits even to the day dad died.

    My dad was my hero. Dad was the most courageous and resourceful man. I never questioned if he loved and cared for his family because he made it so obvious. I still feel him with me and l am living the life for both of us now.

    For ever in our hearts. REST IN PEACE

    Love you dad, till we meet again

  8. Ronnie your were an amazing friend to us and a good Aussie father figure and grand pa figure for us Kiwis. You embraced all our grandchildren and they loved you.
    You were generous, funny and always willing to help with anything, You absolutely loved life and your family and your friends.
    It was a privilege to be involved in your life and we will treasure our memories of you forever. Will miss making you cuppa’s in your special bone china cup and saucer and sitting around chatting about anything and everything.
    You were a gentleman and a bloody good mate. After 28 years of friendship it is hard to say goodbye so lets just say catch you later mate.

  10. Ronnie,

    Words cannot explain how incredibly fortunate I was to have had you as apart of my life and our families. You were a true gentleman and proper old school which I loved.

    I am going to miss your stories whether it was about an old engine you had, a lawn mower you had just bought or the latest bargain you got from a garage sale, i always loved listening even if it was for the 3rd or 4th time.

    I always left your place with a smile and you were always eager to help out with whatever you could and i will always be grateful for that. It was a true honour to have known you and you will never be far from my thoughts. 87 years well spent Rest easy cobber.

    Deepest sympathies to June and the family.

    Love Always

    Corey, Bec, Maggie and Winnie

    PS. I’m still sorry for scratching your ute

  11. I will miss my Dad, his warm embrace, whenever we would meet.
    I will miss my Dad, out in his shed, which was always kept so neat.
    I will miss my Dad, his great advice, whenever I would ask.
    I will miss my Dad, always there to help, no matter what the task.
    I will miss my Dad, the conversations, that would brighten up my day.
    I will miss my Dad, and all the things, we did along the way.
    My Dad was there, for other people, always thought of others first.
    And anything they asked of him, my Dad would become immersed.
    A kind a gentle loving man, is how he will be remembered best,
    For me, having Dad in my life, I know I was truly blessed.
    I will miss my Dad,….
    I miss my Dad.

    Love you Dad.
    Gaz.

  12. Our Ronnie.
    Thank you! Thank you for being my stand in Pa. Thank you for embracing my family as I grew and had my own. Thank you for always having my back and always giving such great advice.
    I will cherish the memories I have of you, from watching you tinker on those engines when I was a kid, to chit chatting over a cuppa as an adult. You were always there, always loving, always ready to share a tale and a laugh.
    I love you Ronnie and will miss you until we meet again.
    Deepest sympathy to June and all the family.
