Tributes

60 years is a long time to have known you, and those years are filled with so many memories. It’s hard to believe you are no longer with us, but your humour, brilliant mind and giving nature, will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Gav

Kevin & Chris Burgess

So sorry you had to go old mate, but I treasure all the moments we shared short time or long. There are very few talented guys who could even get close to your knowledge, understanding and incredible talents. To try and emulate or find someone like you mate is impossible. I wish you a calm sail to your workshop in the sky where without doubt we will meet again soon. Stan

Dad, it feels so unreal that you’re no longer with us. I’ll miss you everyday - your hugs, your kindness, your humour, your warmth, your pop in’s at work and your invaluable advice and teaching at the workshop. I feel so blessed that I got to spend a lot of time with you over last few years while you had your workshop at home. I am SO proud that I get to call you my dad - you’re an absolute legend and your legacy will span generations. Love you eternally xoxox
