  1. Rod,
    I know you would be up there saying “no more tears”, but life without you, right now, seems so hard. My heart is broken 💔 😢, even though I know you are at peace.
    Darling, we have had such an amazing life together for the last 28 years……you were my soul mate, my rock, my everything!
    I will cling to the many amazing memories we created together, travelling Australia and the fun times had with families anf friends.
    I know you will always be with me and this is not goodbye, just see you later 💞💞💞💞
    your forever loving wife, Sharon xxxx

  3. Rod we’ll miss the banter, the giggles, and the endless teasing, though maybe it was really just your terrible taste in music that kept us all entertained. Rest in peace, my friend. Thank you for being such a wonderful god- father to Pia and Jai. You brought laughter, warmth, and so many good memories into our lives, and you’ll be deeply missed.

  13. Sharon,
    Please accept our sincere condolences on the passing of Rod ( Bogger)he was truly admired as a fabulous friend and traveller by all those who have attended the Moonambel Gathering over the past 23 years . He will be sadly missed around both the camp-fire and the large Gathering during the evening meal and the fun had by all at our auctions. Rods presence, laughter, anticipation and indeed the ability to past onto others the enjoyment of good food laughter and having a great Boden. Rod will be sadly missed by all the Moonambellers.

    Rest in peace our Friend (Bogger)
