I can hear your voice and see your big smile!! Always a ball of laughs when we saw you. You gave great cuddles and your yarns were hilarious.
So sorry I was not there to farewell you, but am currently overseas.

Love Helen (née Boniface) & Stephen Foreman & family xxx
As kids we loved it when you visited – talk about a fun visitor (mind you we always got in some sort of trouble with mum and dad due to your antics lol). Always so energetic and hilarious. Will treasure those memories
Remembering many fun memories from our childhood cuz. Especially fun times at Gran and Grandad’s farm and bush Your jokes, smiles, and fun. Rest in peace free of pain. Luv from Sharon (nee Collingwood) and Colin Stevens
Crackers, you were such a massive part of our family, and the best ever neighbour. Omg, we had so many laughs we all loved you to the moon and back. I know Pat is waiting for you with a beer in hand and I can see the two of you reminiscing about the antics you got up to and also the help and support when needed. We are going to miss you so much, but blessed to have known you. Thoughts always from Lyn, Brad and Rhys
My Uncle David, you always made me feel welcome, like I truly belonged.
Your warmth and kindness will never be forgotten.
Thank you.
Steve

Time cannot be replaced but memories last forever, we will treasure the memories we have in our hearts forever 💗💗 RIP dear brother, love Shirley & Christine 💞

Crackers, such a good mate to all us . Many great times spend together that are never forgotten. Fishing trips that had me laughing all day. The fishing part was not the highlight and didn’t need to be usually the trip home was.
Cheers Bud
