  11. Beautiful Sherri, Amanda, Vicki, Matt, Craig and all your beautiful grand children, you’ve known the best. Working for Andre and Sherri off and on over many years was an honour. A wonderful boss, you were hard working and expected the same of your employees, told the worst jokes, gave the worst lollies, liked a bet or two and those one armed bandits, didn’t mind an ale and always with a smile on the face but we knew to hide just by the look in those eyes. You were supportive, great to seek advice from, always ready to help the best way you could and always ready for chat to make sure I was okay. You achieved so much in your business life and lived life as best you could, you gave as good as you got. Catch up with H and go fishing. Rest in Peace.
