Dad, my old man, Viv & Pa,
‘I’m alright’ were the last words I’d hear from you. Little did I know that I would not get to talk to you again. You nearly made 91 years of age, for some reason I thought you’d live forever because you were so stubborn. Thank you for my love of the bush, dogs and birds. For teaching me that nothing is for free.. We’ll miss all of the stories, wisdom that you passed on, your laugh and your strength. Rest in peace Dad, Love Tanya & Darren
Pa I just wanted to thank you, as the time I was able to spend with you only made me a better person and a better man. You taught me things about myself that I’ll treasure forever . Thank you for everything. Samuel.
Thank you for all your stories over the years and for passing on your love of birds. Rest in peace Pa.
Love Mikayla.
Dad, Viv, Pa, Spike,
You have left a gaping hole no one else can fill,
You taught us well with life skills,
You surely tested us along the way,
You were the central “Cog” of our family
You made us who we are today,
Your loving Daughter, Annette, Grandsons Emmet, Jared, and Brenton and Families. 7 Great Grandchildren, Jessica, Sienna, Billie, Matilda, Ted, Ari and Bodhi, adored you so much.
Great mates with Robert, and Kevin (dec.)
