We went to the Bush Inn to take our annual Christmas photo with our Santa. We were so saddened to learn that he is no longer with us. He used to wait for us every year and I would email him a photo of him with my two children. Christmas Santa photos will never be the same. Sending our thoughts to you and your family. There will be many children who have a photo with your lovely husband and father. I know these are precious memories that we will all have. My two children are very saddened. Thinking of you all. Love Debbie, Brad, Mason and Senka Smith.

Stioux was an adventurer, He had done everything and been everywhere. I am gutted to hear his journey was cut short. He will be missed, His cheeky sense of humour and love of life rubbed off on everyone he met. Big hugs to Carol!
