Tributes

1. Our sincere condolences to Ethan and Madison. We will miss your Dad's lovely handwritten notes in our money jar for pinecones at our farm gate. His notes, treats and generosity were very much appreciated by the girls and we would often talk about how we could pay back his generosity. I enjoyed my chats with your Dad if I was out working in the garden when he dropped by. Your Dad spoke with REAL love and pride about you both. I remember Paul speaking about your study Madison and one conversation he mentioned driving to meet you and bring you home Madison when you were coming across from Adelaide. I mentioned how kind he was to do so and he said he would rather bring you home than have you driving through kangaroo country on your own. Paul mentioned that you helped him work the farm Ethan, but that you also worked on the wind farms. He was proud of how much of a hard worker you are. Your Dad was a lovely, kind, caring man and a real gentleman. Gone way to early. We cannot be there on Monday but our thoughts and prayers are with you both.

6. In Loving Memory of Poe
   An awesome mate from his Darwin days in the early 90’s. Poe’s kindness, humour and unwavering friendship left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing him. As did his looooonnnngggggg stories.
   His time in Darwin was filled with fun, mischief & laughter, and moments that will forever be treasured by those whose lives he touched.
   Sending our love to Ethan & Madison, and families.
   Dennis & Jeanette O’Brien and family, Trish Murray and family.
   Rest in peace, Poe.
