Dad,
Thank you for the love, the lessons, and the memories. Your miles you made, and the wheels may have stopped turning, but the road you paved for us will guide us always. Every mile you travelled carried not just yourself, but all of us. Teaching us strength, patience, and resilience along the way. The journeys you took, the paths you chose, and the stories you shared have become part of who we are. Though the engine rests and the ride has ended, the legacy of your travels continues to move us forward. We will carry your spirit in every step, every turn, and every horizon we chase. The road ahead may be ours to drive, but it will forever be lit by the tracks you left behind.
Love your daughter Kerrie, son-in-law Alan, Pop to Brodie and Ash, Stacey and Sam, Big Pop to Aida, Ruby, Lily and Evie, Ella and Beau.

Dad was a hardworking man who showed strength, determination, and had a big heart.
He shared countless stories and taught us lessons we will carry forever.
Dad challenged us at times, but these challenges helped make us stronger in ways we now appreciate.
Through his guidance and his love, he gave us more than we could ever repay.
We are grateful and will forever cherish the great times we had and the memories.
Thanks for everything Dad, love you and will miss you.
Kylie, Blood, Kody & Jorja
