Little belated but so sorry to see our good mate go. Many fishing abd yabbying days with many others regards and sorry to Sue and kids. Stewy Hyder.
Stewart Hyder October 21, 2022 ‘Ernie’, I enjoyed working with you at the ‘Bool’ and I’ll never forget your dry sense of humour. Neither will the unrepentant traffic offender to whom you responded, ‘you’ll run out of money before I run out of tickets’. Rest in peace buddy. Iveta and Mark VONARX.
MARK VONARX October 3, 2022 I cannot believe this. I am late by chance.
From the ‘Bool “Dugong draw-off tournaments” of the 80’s to the pranks played on me as a signwriter up a ladder on early Sunday morning jobs in Liebig St through the 90’s from a patrol car…never forget “Bin Night”
our sincere sympathy to Sue, Chris & Matt (I remember when each of you lads were born)
Vale you magnificent man.

Paul Rayner September 6, 2022 Goodbye Ernie. Many memories and stories, many unpublishable. Regards to Sue and family. Peter Mcrae.
Peter Mcrae September 5, 2022 Heartfelt sympathy to Sue, Matt, Chris & families. We are deeply saddened by the loss of a workmate and friend who lightened up every day with your humour and just being you. Rolling up to work looking like you had slept in your uniform was something I failed to change over the 26 years I was your Supervisor. Warrnambool won’t be the same. Farewell my friend.
Pauline and Glen Riddle

John Brown September 1, 2022 Oh Boofy, so sad that this has happened to you so soon after working all those years and not get to enjoy a life in retirement. I have so many fond memories and stories of my time working with you for many years in the “job”. The road safety council meetings were always made more interesting when you turned up, which was usually a certainty as there was free food. 😆 The days at gillies street when you would be challenged for a wrestle with our colleagues, the time you participated in the police team for the Murray to Moyne, and how by some miracle you got punctures on your bike so had to spend most of the trip in the support car consuming a few ales. I can just go on with so many stories. You will be dearly missed. Taken way too soon boofy. 🥺 my condolences to Chris and Matt, Sue and family. From Trudy
Trudy morland September 1, 2022 Our love and thoughts are with Chris,Matt,Sue and the entire Hatfield family at this sad time. Ian will be forever remembered for his devilish sense of humour and fun. His hearty laughter and impish chuckles will be sorely missed by his family and many friends.
Frond memories of a true friend.
R.I.P. Ian . Elaine, Des, Darren, Tim and all the Fitzgerald’s.
He had a rough exterior, marshmallow interior.

A bit frustrating playing golf or squash with him, he scored differently some how. Good times in Swan St. with Ian and Trevor.
