  3. My sincere deepest condolences Pat, Jean, Claire, Mark, Jarrah, Dylan and Ash.
    Mr B was the kindest man and I retain cherished memories of my childhood growing up with the best neighbours you could hope for. I recall what a hard worker he was and his jovial laugh. He scaled the fence once to extinguish Chris who’d caught himself on fire! He made such a positive impact on my life and I’m fortunate to have known him.
