R.I.P. Buddha, was great growing up with you & your family as neighbours. Lots of laughs & mischief. Being short i always had trouble beating you in Humpo Bumpo but still tried. Your at peace now Mate. Starks .

My dear friend Jess,
I know words cannot fully express the depth of your pain and sorrow.
To loose someone you love, leaves a void that fills impossible to fill, a heartache that consumes your very being and i wish I could take away all your pain.
But I know that I can’t, but what I can do is offer you my love and support.
I’m here to listen without judgement, be a person to cry with, to give you a hug when you need one always.
The days coming will have ups and downs some better than others but I’m not far if you ever need.

To Mrs Yates and Geoff’s son’s my heart goes out to you all at this extremely difficult time.

Deepest condolences to Lyn and all the family, our thoughts are with you all.
Jumbo, we will miss all the time spent yakking over the fence!

Sincere sympathy to all on the passing of dear Geoff.. remembering the good times had when growing up on Princes Highway & as kids we’d play in the park or all go down to the pool .. R.I.P Geoff

Gone but not forgotten

Oh Jumbo,

Without a doubt in this world you were a light in so many people’s lives, a positive vibe, always up for a good laugh.

You were quick off the mark with your jokes, always trying to make those around you smile.

You’ve always been a gem to my brother, and you were the light of Adelyn and Mckennas world.

You’ll never be forgotten, because for every person you met, you left an imprint in their lives.

Thank you for being apart of Coltons cheer squad and for making the time to watch Colty in his first eisteddfod, despite being extremely tired, you stayed and watched till the end.

Jess, Lyn, Brendan, Cory, Lachy & families my thoughts are with you all, I hope you all keep your memories held tight and take peace in knowing dad is now pain free, his love beamed for all of you.

So sad to hear of your passing mate. I remember the old days when you Neil and myself roamed Rintoull St. Condolences to your extended family and friends. RIP Joffa.
