  54. My thoughts go to Di and family.

    I’m sorry I can not make it back. I will miss Muzz incredibly. I am glad to have had such an incredible neighbor and friend. He was always so happy to greet me with a beer after working away. Sneaking up on me in the shed and scaring the daylights out of me. He would tell me what had been happening in his life, how Tyron had gone in footy. He was always giving a hand with the cars. He told me old stories of his younger adult years, racing his Mark 2 Zephyr and his Mustang around the valley.
    Going home for me will be different now. But I know whenever I’m in the shed, he will be near, standing there with a beer.
