Hector O'BRIEN Obituary

Jean, please accept our condolences for the loss of Baxter. Was great to catch up with you both a few weeks ago.
We too have wonderful memories of the amazing Hilton School concerts that you and Baxter organised as well as everything else you guys did for our children, most appreciated.

How fortunate were we, to have Baxter & Jean as the Principal & Junior room teachers at Hilton Primary School, for the whole time our children attended that school. Their combined efforts created children well prepared to continue their education to higher levels. Baxters' ability to understand what made every child tick, so to speak, was indeed special & the concerts presented at the end of each year were so memorable for the whole community. Thank you so much Baxter & Jean. Those memories will remain, so may you take comfort in that at this sad time. Marty & Keith Pow... & ALL 6 kids.

Saddened by the news recently. Mr O´Brien was my favourite teacher and I have such fond memories.
I always loved bumping into Baxter on the race track or at his house when socialising with Damon and Chase. A great man who will be sorely missed. Love to all.

The clink of rocks as Baxter helped by building our fantastic dividing wall.
Wonderful memories of great neighbours.

I am sorry to hear of my dear primers teacher passing!
I remember loving having him as a teacher. Listening to to records, fabulous stories and feeling happy and loving ng learning.
I was always so delighted to bump into "Mr O´Brien" when home in Geraldine! Having a hug and catch up natter!
I am so grateful to him for setting me up in my education journey (and "Mrs O´Brien" too)!
Thanks for sharing such a great human with us "Kids" over the years.
I know the heavens are richer having him shining bright.
My condolences to you all, I have been recalling my memories and may yours bring comfort, and keep him close at heart always.
I am just sorry I can´t be with you on Saturday. You will be in my thoughts.

The Russell kids have fond memories of Baxtor teaching us at Tripp School a fun teacher in our lives.

Sincere sympathy to you all at this sad time.
Kindness regards,
Alison Bragg

Jean, Chase, Damon and Tori
