4. My heart breaks, but I’m so glad I got to spend some time with you a few months back.. Some of my fondest memories are of you Roy are the many times I spent with you and Auntie Belle at The Sisters as a kid.. milking cows, helping to deliver calves, feeding the calves, feeding the pigs, seeing piglets born, you tricking me to touch the electric fence and short sheeting beds were just a few of your trickeries!
   As an adult visiting you at Bushfield with Brittany in toe. It was always a fun adventure staying with you! Loved you popping down to Melbourne on your many road trips and especially loved our footy chats!
   Gonna miss you, you old bugger, but you now get to rest easy with Auntie Belle!
   All my love to Davey and Leanne ❤️

5. A wonderful uncle who will be deeply missed. Even though we have lived far apart over the years you always held a special place in our hearts. I will miss the conversation about footy and the banter we shared over Hawthorn v Geelong games. Rest in peace and say hi to Dad for me. Deepest sympathy to Davey and Leanne.

6. A wonderful man with a heart of gold taken too soon. Roy you were a tree of knowledge and solved many issues for us here on the farm with machinery - you were able to fix almost everything. We will miss your handy work, wit and phone calls to check how much rain we’ve had.
   Rest easy Roy. Enjoy your cuppas and biscuits once again with Ken and Pam.
