You'll be missed dear ol mate.
You could always be relied on for a heart felt conversation about anything and everything.
Your passions ran deep and I'm happy to have experienced many a good time and bad chewing the fat over a coffee and cake.
Many family celebrations along lifes path were richer for your presence.
You were a character like no other that always liked a bit of fun and always made time for a catch up.
Living life to the fullest up to the end.
You'll remain an inspiration that age does no define your place in life.
Go in peace M8ty
The Rosewarne Family.
