  3. Our thoughts are with the Vanina family at this sad time. Mr Vanina was a gentleman and was always up for a chat, although could never convince me to call him Brian, he was always Mr Vanina.
    A true Lang Lang local who will be missed.

  4. You were ours neighbours for years. Dad was the Principal when Nadine was at school and your darling mum Cath taught her at Lang Lang kindergarten. He loved his lawn bowls and was dearly loved and will be sadly missed. To Graeme, Jennifer and Mandy our thoughts are with you and your family xxx Phillip and Maxine.

  6. Dear Graeme, Jenny, Mandy and Brian’s dearest and loved family members I send my deepest condolences.
    Your dad once said something to me that helped me immensely when my husband passed away, I dearly wish I could remember what he said exactly, in a roundabout way life is to be lived. Living in Oldbury street there are many memories of any of you going by, there was always a chat, a hi or how are you today, mum on her way past to the kinder, dad on his way to school, you as kids heading up the street then driving by eventually, all remembered fondly.
    RIP Mr V

  8. Deepest sympathy, from the Ridgway family from Cardinia. I personally had Mr Vanina from grade 3 to 6 (1967 – 1970) – he was the only “big room” teacher I ever had at Cardinia Primary School – always in a suit and tie. The last time we saw him was at a school reunion a few years back now – he spoke so adoringly of his beloved family and how much you meant to him. A life well lived. United at last with Mrs Vanina R.I.P.
