Dear Katerina, Antonia and extended family,
I so saddened to hear of the passing of your dad.
My memories of your dad were of him being an all round excellent bloke, a great dad, someone who loved the outdoors and gave back to the community more than he took.
On hearing of his stroke then recently that that he has had cancer for some time, I realised what a stoic private uncomplaining person he was.
I last saw your dad about 5 years ago when we were doing a tour along the West Coast. It was great to catch up with him then.
Your dad spent a lot of our time catching up telling us how proud he was of his two girls and how well they were doing.
I have had the deepest respect for him as a dad, a community member and as a person.
Our deepest condolences on his passing.
Lots of love
Dave Carter and Joyce Lepper
