Dad, we will miss you so much, thank you for being a wonderful father, grandpa and great grandpa, there will forever be a big hole in our hearts, you were always there if we needed with no complaints, we will be forever grateful having you in our lives. Love you to the moon and back always.

Hey Dad, Thank-you.

Thank-you for being a Dad that was always there for me, you loved unconditionally and endlessly. Thank-you for being the best Bugga to my sons, they are going to miss you terribly, they already do.

Thank-you for being a special friend to Brett, he admired you so much, as did many.

Rest easy now Dad.

Finally back on the 19th…. Having a beer.

My Dad, Toro (The Bull) – You were always there to give advice and lend a helping hand. You were a great mate to Curly and he will miss all your building tips!

You were always a true gentleman that wore a smile even on the bad days.

And last of all, you were the best Dad a girl could ever ask for xx

I miss you so much already ????

Love you always & forever xx

Not all hero’s wear capes, but you certainly were mine & Leo’s.

I miss you so much. Leo misses his best mate Bugga dragging you around the shed, looking for boy stuff to do ❤️

Gone but never ever forgotten, this is not goodbye but see you later till we meet again.

–         Love Carla & Leo xx
