  2. Met Dion a few times when I lived in Warrnambool. He was a really nice guy and one of those people you meet in life that are remembered even when you have met them a couple of times. Sad news and condolences to his family and those that knew him well. RIP

  3. Today I said good by to the best friend I have ever had. Your hart and soul was one that everyone should inspire to have. I have always looked up at you on how you were with your friends and family and the nick names you gave us all.
    We had fun times and it always was with you. Even if it was just hanging out at your house doing nothing but pissing Olivia off. (well that was just me). Haha.
    You taught me how to respect people no matter what they believe and how they are.
    People come from different backgrounds and have different issues. But we are all the same.
    Something I have never forgotten and still hold onto.
    Every April fools you would ring or message with something and at the end I would always ask if you are serious. And then it comes. What a sucker we all were.
    I’ll miss you my friend. Your smile your kind heart and your humour. Always trying to get us to see the funny side to life.
    The stories we could tell when we were young to our kids would shock them.( Well maybe not just have them laugh).
    My brother my best friend You say goodbye. Not me as you will always be in my hart and the way I am.
    Love you Cockla.

  9. To D,
    I can’t believe I won’t see you again. You’ll always hold a special place in my heart. I will forever think of our 30 year friendship, and think of you often. I will miss our chats, especially about the old days. I’ll miss your laughter, your smile, your kindness and your hugs. Rest in peace dear friend. You will be dearly missed by all our family.

  10. Dion you felt like one of my younger brothers in India—we bonded quickly and you were such fun, and old soul, caring and willing always to help the oldies on the trip. We were so lucky to meet you and Tracey. All our love to you Shirl and Pete xx

  11. Dear olivia, Paris,Zack and holli… we are truly heartbroken for you all.. we knew yr dad, from his young days in bethel where he loved to cook and show never ending love, kindness, listening ear, cuddles and always a laugh. Dion was a precious gem of a person, there really was no one like him. He had a love of adventure, was charming and charismatic, no matter who he spoke too, he had the gift of the gab and the most memorable cheeky face and infectious laugh. We knew him as ‘poochie , and Punjabi as he loved oxtail curry… we had so many hilarious memories together, the bus trip to Adelaide, teaching granny wanker banker while playing cards, the hhhacid with Sammy & Rosa, the dandenong day with the beeping of the horn and crapping dog that Dion giggled over for hours… always in a little mischief … his love for animals for his first cat Obadiah.. and lots more dogs and cats from the first…we love and cherish so many memories of yr dad and mum… we loved the way he chatted to marcels.. and knew and was truly and deeply loved by all. We will keep you all in prayers and cannot wait to see him again happy and healthy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Trisha and scoob

  15. Dion. I just found out that one of my best mate for when i was younger had passed.
    Saw this on FB and can’t believe you have gone.
    He moved away for work and we didn’t keep in touch for that reason although we tried.
    WTF my friend. Why and how.
    My heart has just dropped seeing this.
    Was just thinking of you last week and was going to call but like always got caught up.
    I’ll miss you brother. Love always Cockla.💔
    To The kids. Your father was the most loving person and would help anyone that needed help. The most funniest person i have ever met.
    I’m so sorry for your loss and wish I could be there to say good buy to a man that helped me when needed and was there for me.
    I miss him and now will always miss him.💔💔💔
    Again i’m so sorry. It’s not fare.
