To our Grandad,

To say we will miss you is an understatement. Hard to put into short words the love we have for you. Thank you for being our cheeky, funny, taco loving Grandad. Thank you for teaching us about the world, and all about composting. Thanks for always leading us out onto the dance floor first, with a beer in hand that you were hiding from Nana. We will treasure forever the memories we have of all four of us squashed into the ute, toasted sandwiches and milkshakes, card games, and finding your secret stash of lollies.

 

We’ll always look after nana for you.

Thank you for loving us, our husbands and our babies.

Love Hannah, Layla and Abbey xoxo

  4. So sorry to learn of Owen’s death. I first met Owen when he was living in McDonald Street Morwell some 60 years ago. Then lost contact until he became a member of the Moe Golf Club where l am a member. Lovely fellow.
    Sincere condolences to his family and friends.

  7. It has been a long time since I touched base with Owen. Typically, it was at another family funeral I believe, Visiting the Keat household in Yallourn was always exciting with news of Owen’s (and others’) progress into the adult world received regularly and with interest by all in the family. The family tributes at the service illustrate the positive depth of feeling he attracted though-out his life. It is great the the Buchan stories and other legends will survive into the future.
