My Family would like to offer our deepest condolences to My darling Aunty Heather, Donna, Jamie and Chris. From Heidi, Murray, Kryal, Adrian and Cassandra. Love to you all. How does one being to tell the story of such a beautiful, loving and caring God Father? My Uncle Noel, and his family, was one of the few stabilities in my life. Walter and Cheryl Dymock, Vic and Ann with there beautiful children and my family ALWAYS welcome in their home any time of day of night with loving open arms. The picnics at Long Bay were my favourite times ever. Only just last September 25th, on my birthday, my Godparents called me to wish me a happy birthday. Unbeknown to them I was in hospital awaiting my second back in just 4 days. Little did they know that was what I TRULY needed right then. That consistence that had always been there to be there at that time. The true long lasting friendships he held. The unwavering love and respect he had for his family. The way he careered for his own parents is something I will never forget. With his AMAZING and STRONG wife, my Aunty Heather, by his side for 60 years tells us all so much about the real and true person he was and will live on being in ALL our hearts. I will sorely miss the phones calls. His soft and gentle voice. When I was a child he would get very lost with me rambling on the phone, cos boy I could talk. So he would just say, "I'll get your Aunty Heather," and you would hear him pull up a chair for her while she listened to me, god knows how long for, talking at a million miles an hour without talking a breathe. I think they call it verbal diarrhea ha ha ha ha. Goodbye my beautiful Uncle. Don't forget I love you and I will NEVER EVER forget you. Thank you for being My Godfather and for honouring that role in my life.
