Leave a tributeDear Sue and family,
We were on holidays when we heard the devastating news of Bombers passing. Great memories and of many golf trips and games together. He gave me the nickname Cupcake which that has stayed with me since. He always told to me to smile and I’ll remember this forever. Our deepest sympathy.
