Dear Grandad, I know you’re reading this. Thank you for being there on the day your presence was not missed. You leave a big void that won’t be filled, however your presence is still felt, you will be eternally missed. Thank you for leaving behind a legacy of memories that will live on through the generations, you leave kindness, teaching and handyman skills behind that I will be sure to make live on. Thank you for being you at every stage of your life. Ride that tractor in heaven and keep playing your impractical jokes in heaven, make everyone smile like you always did. Thank you for your wisdom and guidance for all these years. You will be greatly missed by everyone, sweet dreams Grandad.

Mau hs soul rest in peace. I have may mories of him and the tractor including the black knees I still have from jumping from the moving tractor when he refused to stop. We use to hop on because it was low and moving slowly if you were a good hopper you could bail off but for me a straight dowm a Butcher Pass me going and have to walk back to Lindos Gap.

Say not in grief he is no more but in thankfulness that he was. Your guiding hand will always be on our shoulders. You are everywhere and in everything. Some how you are right here, even though it feels strange to know you are not here in the physical, we know that in laughter and pain, in sunshine and rain, you will be right by our side.
