A beloved father to DJ, Rex and Alb.  A loving papa, son, brother, uncle and friend to many. 
We would like to thank family, friends and neighbours for all your love and kindness.  Dad is finally reunited with his darling, our mum, doing what they loved together – fishing by day, reminiscing by night...
