So sad to hear of Ginger´s passing. Will treasure our memories and so glad we had such a great catch-up in 2022 at Caloundra. We still have a "leave right" rock from the on beach at the Bach, has even more special meaning now as we chose one with a ginger patch through it. Condolences to all the family. RIP Tony.

My Dear Bev,
What a shock and a tragedy to lose this fantastic person. My sincere wishes to you and the family.
He was a great mate and we shared many good times. That big "Ginger-grin" will remain so vivid in my memory forever.
You pair, represented the true value of West-Coasters and I hope with support and time your qualities will continue that great partnership. The loss will be felt by so many.
I am really saddened by this tragic news.
Stay safe and God bless
my fondest regards
Mike McCarthy (Sydney)

To dear Bev & family,
We were really sorry to hear from Frances that your lovely Ginger passed away suddenly on you on New Years eve.
My memories of Ginger go back to the late 60's when we used to travel backwards & forwards on the railcar to boarding school in Oamaru - him to St Kevin's College and me to Teschemakers College!
You and your family are very much in our thoughts and prayers.
Much love from Helen Warwick (ChCh) & Mike Minehan (Berlin, Germany)
