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.
Hi Jude,
I was so happy reading your notice today, brought back so many memories.
You were such a big part of our family and work life.
Dad and Mum appreciated the memories and what you brought to our work life, a better Employee you could not find. Thank-you Jude.
We are so sad to loose a brother, brother in-law and uncle. Andre was very loved by us all and the moments we had together will be forever cherished.
Forever in our hearts.
Love Hank, Margot and Family xxx

Dad and Mum often spoke about the special times spent with you and the family, we will always treasure those times. Dad was always very thankful for your support through the early years.
My big brother, thank you for all the years of support and wisdom you gave me. I’m going to miss our calls putting shit on each other about the footy and our seasonal wager to see who could beat the other with the highest score.
Rest in peace and now be free from pain. I miss you every day
Hansy
Hansy, that is such a lovely message for your big brother Andre.
