Jenny Baldwin October 30, 2022 Basil, a gentle kind soul with a genuine love for family. Thanks for the many fond memories, particularly your quick wit. Forever missed.
Andrew, Jacinta, Xavier, Luke and Ruby Dowd
Andrew Dowd October 19, 2022 Basil thank you for always taking a seat at the table for all of our family celebrations including Christmas tea and there will always be room for ice-cream. Thank you for being an inspiration in life and your love of the Rosary was so beautiful to witness. Your presence has always given us a sense of Nanna and Pa still being with us and your memories will live on in our hearts forever too. Love “The O’Briens”
Marlene O'Brien October 19, 2022 To my big hearted brother Basil, thank you for your special enduring love of our family. You know how much we all loved you. Rest in peace now Basil, no other words needed; other than thank you Judy. Love always Margaret & Charlie.
Margaret Dowd October 19, 2022 Although we only spent a few hours together on a visit from UK many years ago we remember Basil’s kindness and obvious love of life.
RIP cousin Basil
Michael and Ann Stockham 🙏❤️
Michael Stockham October 19, 2022 Thank you, Thank you & again Thank you…
For My treasured memories with Maree, Cindy and I as little girls at Dennington, you were always there with a big smile and cuddle, lots of teasing and laughter….
Except when Pies beat the Cats & Saturday night (after 6pm when it was cheaper to phone) you or Leon would ring Riverglen Geelong just to stir your nieces.
For my treasured memory of being in Warrnambool & sneaking in to Dennington to see you & introducing you to Brian, when he & I first met, & no one else knew I was in town, hard to date a new guy when everyone in town knows a Garner.
Thank you for sharing our biggest day at our wedding.
Though we have been distant by mileage over the years, you always held a special spot in our heart.
Love to Nicky, Marshall and Judy.
Basil, a life filled with laughter, happiness & love of family and friends.
Love Kerry & Brian xxoo

Christine Garner October 17, 2022 Another limb has fallen from our family tree…
Cheeky, mischievous, interested, gentle, caring, loving are only just some of the many words to describe you.
You became the family patriarch and ensured the traditions of Garnerama and Boxing Night continued, especially out at “home” in the earlier days.
Nicky and Marshall, all our love to you – your Dad & Poppy was simply the best!
Thank you Judy for loving and caring for our Baz and to the Brockway family for welcoming him with so much love.
Rest easy now Bazzy. We will miss you so.
Another seat has been placed at the card table in heaven ♠️♣️♦️♥️
Love Tanya, David, Josh & Becky
Tanya Suggett October 17, 2022 Basil was a brilliant brother, brother in law, uncle and great uncle, and more importantly a great person.
There are so many great memories that won’t be forgotten, like days at the football watching South, trips to the races, and that sly grin when you won a hand at poker.
We will miss you greatly, but have comfort in all the great time we spent together.
Love Norm, Sue, Nicholas, Claire, Isla, Daniel and Jodie
Norm and family October 17, 2022 With Deepest Sympathy at this sad time Fond memories of a special man

Joanne Bowden October 17, 2022 Basil, what a difference you made to the Brockway clan. We will be forever grateful for your kindness and compassion. Best Step-father that any of us could ask for. Rest easy old boy. Even though you were forever claiming to break even, I reckon you were a winner in life!

Tracey Davis October 16, 2022 RIP Basil !
John Kermond October 15, 2022 Dad, for days now I’ve been trying to find the right words for this tribute but then I realised there will never be the right words for losing a parent, there will always be something more I want to say. I just want to say thank you for being my dad and such a wonderful poppy to marshall. You were the kindest most patient dad a girl could ask for. I never saw you angry, I never heard you say a bad word about anyone and you were always up to some kind of mischief. You took being a dad to a little girl in your stride. If marshall grows up to be half the man he’s poppy was then I’ll be one extremely proud mum.
We love you dad and I really hope as you look down on us we both make you proud, as proud as I was to call you my dad.
Nicky & marshall October 15, 2022 In loving memory of Basil, who always had a great sense of humour and a genuine concern for all others. RIP
Love Peter and Tracey XX
