  8. Vic you came into our lives after a desperate search for someone to deliver a motor for Tammie’s car. You answered the call in more ways than one.
    I will never forget that day I dropped in to see if it had been fitted to find Tammie sitting on the fence while you were getting in your truck ready to leave.
    I remember asking Tammie “ What’s with the guilty look on your face?”
    Her reply was “ I really like him “
    I replied “ well I didn’t see that coming “
    From there vic became a permanent fixture in the family and their love grew fast.
    Fast forward 23+ years Vic and Tammie built a huge life together filled with love laughter and joy.
    Vic everyone will miss you and your kind generous ways and not to mention your pot stirring.
    Keep on trucking up there with a few scotches and ciggies at the end of a long day.

    Joe, Maryann and kids. RIP 💐🥃🚛🚬🤍

  10. Mate, what can I say that nobody else has already. You are a great man, full of positive vibes, a jokesmith, a true gentleman, a hard worker and just an all around good guy. One bloke I can honestly say I’ve never heard a negative word come from you. I’ll miss our UHF calls, (copy fat C#%t) and the obscure stuff you’d send me on messenger😂. Gunna miss ya mate. Keep the big guy entertained will ya. You’re the man for the job. Until we meet again my old friend. 😢

  11. Dear Tammie and Family,
    I was saddened to hear of Vic’s passing. He was such a gentleman and suffered a lot at the time I knew him. I have often thought of him since I retired and wondered how you all were.
    Please accept my sympathy for you loss.
    Kind regards, Kathleen Kneebone
