Rest peacefully Uncle Tex, your gift for always making us laugh will never be forgotten and we will always remember you with much love and fondness

Dad, Tex, Ron, or what I called you Pa. Well Pa it’s the end of the road for you in this life, but a better eternal life has just begun and you’ve reunited with loved ones. Even though we weren’t together everyday we all always cherished every moment we did. You were my first hero when I was young, then in my teens you were a awesome dad, that we could talk about anything, You helped me through my Pre-trade carpentry course, dropping and picking me up everyday, for 6 months waking up to a cooked breakfast every morning, so spoilt! Then helped me get my first job as a labourer for experience. Then starting carpentry which to date I’ve been in the trade for 30 years. I’ll always be greatfull for everything you done. I enjoyed our phone calls every weekend, even though it would be a repeat, It didn’t matter because we always had a good laugh. I’m sorry we weren’t there for your final days but I had reassurance when you moved to Jean Sandel that you were taken care of. You are sadly missed by us all but we will never forget you. We all love you so much Pa, Poppa. You were the G.O.A.T in our eyes, Hasta La vista, Over and out. Love from Ryan & Theresa Grandchildren- Danielle, Maiki, Jaden & Jahvis Great Grandchildren- Riley, Mylah, Matias & Malakhai xxxxxxxxxx
