He was a great father aswell as a fantastic father inlaw to leonie and a fabulous grandfather to my children that had the privalidge of knowing him with only one draw back of being a collingwood supporter. My dad was a real country boy at heart and we seen each other more often when leonie and I moved to Heathcote than we did when we only lived 10 kilometers apart. Leonie and my father were great freinds from the first time I took my then girlfreind home to meet my parents and from then on were always cheeky to each other. I will always remember rabbiting with mydad and now looking back he did teach me so much with out me even knowing it especially about country life and living of the land. I will always miss and love you dad and can only wish our last two chidren could have met you .
