Hi Guys , just watched the live-stream , only sorry I couldn't make it in person ! Great memories of Kerry , such a humble caring man ! First met June in a bar early 1990's , what a surprise that is ! Needed a place to stay and she suggested the Arcadia. Come and meet Kerry but be careful he's 6ft 4" and an ex-bikie. Met Kerry who completed the Arcadia Duo. He was far from mean , or tall for that matter , an easy going kind, caring , modest man ! Many friendships we did toast at the legionary Arcadia Monday night roasts ! Nicky and Jason were faced with an extended family of Arcadians , to their credit they aced ! Kerry has gone to meet June , reuniting that infamous duo....and share a few gins no doubt. Rest in peace Kerry. Greg .
