Dad, Deeply missed already. Your strength and courage was amazing, your sense of humour you kept with you till the end. Thank you for a lifetime of memories, for your love, kindness, encouragement and support. We could not have wished for a better Dad and Pa.
Rest easy Dad, you have earned it. You will live on with us forever. – All our love Kylie, Alan, Ava and Taj.

It is with great sadness we mourn the passing of our Dad and Pa.
