In loving memory of our cherished Dad and Pop
Life can never stay the same
No matter how we try
Our hands can never stop
The clock of life from ticking by
But love remains unchanging
In the care of sorrowing hearts
For as the love of life is stilled
The love of memory starts

Forever in our hearts

Jake and Pennie,
Clinton and Vivian,
Brayden, Shelli, Hugo and Blair,
Ebony and Jordan.

He potters no more in the garden,
He strolls no more down the path,
Cherish the years we shared together
Thanks for the everlasting memories

Side by Side, Good Old Collingwood Forever

  14. I’m lucky I got to share 32 years with you, and Alexander got to meet his Great Pop a few times in the last 2 and a bit years.
    I will always cherish the memories of learning to drive in the paddock and when I stalled the rodeo, you would say “give some, put your foot to the floor would you” & the stories and the laughter we shared over the years.
    I will miss you Pop.
    Rest Peacefully now Pop!
    Love Always Britsca, Mat & Alexander.
