  15. Heartfelt condolences to Denise, Stef, Jane, Adam & extended Riches family.
    Noel will be greatly missed, so many laughs shared with his wonderful sense of humour.
    I will miss our chats about his farmlife at Irrewillipe and of course the footy.
    He always spoke so highly of his family.
    Rest in peace now Noel… My shifts at work just won’t be the same without your wonderful smile there now, but the memories will remain forever.
