Dad went to fresh hunting grounds and greener fields.
My goodness there will be many yarns being told and so much laughter,
‘til the tears roll down everyone’s cheeks.

Great Grandpop to Hudson and Amelia
Delighted to be hoeing, raking and planting

“Gone hunting and fishing”

The things we feel so deeply
Are the hardest things to say
You will always be remembered
In a very special way.
Keep on walking!

Dad (Pop)
Sensitive, comical, wise, hardworking, kind, accommodating, trustworthy
All the things required of a great Mate
Thanks for everything
Gone shooting, fishing, digging old bottles and detecting Goldfields booty
Just gone for a nice leisurely stroll in the bush
See you in another place
Your mate Pete
Our ‘bloody beaut’ Pop now you can fish, hunt, garden,
dig bottles, whistle and walk once more.
It’s no longer ‘a bugger being old’
Love always Daz & Loz, Muffin & Ryan

My Special Dad
Was a kind, loving, devoted Dad
And always there to lend a hand.
Dad was one with nature,
He loved walking in the bush,
Seeing and listening to the birds
And admiring the wildflowers.
But … loved hunting Rabbits and Foxes
Now in his Happy Hunting Ground
Love you Dad – Pone & Geoff (Dec) XOX
Pop,
We will miss our visits;
and the way you always greeted us with a beaming smile.
You have left us with wonderful memories to treasure.
All our Love,
Alana, Jacob and Jarryd
