  1. So sad to hear of the passing of Juergen, his family lived across the road from us in Victoria Street Moe. He was always so friendly and a gentleman was friends with my brother John growing up together. RIP Juergen. 💞💞

  3. Yogi Bear, there will never be enough words of thanks and gratitude to express the depths of what you have done throughout my life over the past 35 years. I wish to have known you for many more.

    You have loved me unconditionally, guided me, sheltered me, taught me to go slow, forgive and love.

    Thank you for choosing me to be your daughter and being a wonderful poppy to Lani and Jack. You will never be forgotten.
    Take it easy. xx

  6. Friends are the family we choose, and losing you feels like losing a part of myself.
    While we mourn your loss, we also celebrate the gift of your friendship.
    Your laughter may be silenced, but memories of you play on.
    Your absence is a void that can’t be filled.
    Rest in peace our dear friend

  10. Juergen, even though not officially family, you were definitely part of our family for as long as I can remember when John & Ruth got together all those years ago. Always a friendly smile and a chat when I’d see you, very easy to be around. Your life blessed many. You’ll be missed by so many.

  11. My heart is completely shattered, while Amy and I are moving through the motions of preparing your memorial in the quiet moments the shock, deep heart aching sadness reminds us you are truly gone.
    You had no idea the number of people who loved, admired, and embraced you as part of their family. Each and every person I have spoken to has said how much they valued and love you, how the reality of you being gone is truly difficult for all to grasp.
    I miss you so very much and wish with all my heart that you were still here.
    Love you my Yogi Bear, Juergs, George, Poppy. ❤️
    Rest easy

  14. Well Juergs, what to say?
    Let’s start with the obvious, Friday nights will never be the same. Your matching EV is noticeably missing. The dogs look for their sneaky unable table treats, especially the cheese.
    Loaded spuds and Spring Onion dip, a piece of white chocolate made it all complete.
    No more lava-cchinos, I finally got it right.
    You instilled us with your quiet wisom. You were the voice of calm during our robust discussions.
    We will remember your laughter and that twinkle in your eye.
    We raise our glasses to you. Cheers, chin-chin, salute, prost. Goodbye.
    Love Friday Night Quaffers.

  16. Juergen, you will be very dearly missed. I remember when you lived with us for a time, and going to a lions vs bombers game at the gabba with you and dad. Visiting you whenever I would come down for a holiday with dad. A wonderful life long friend to him. We are so very sad. But so very grateful for you.
