So sad to see the news today. Another old friend moved on. I was looking forward to a catch up in a few short weeks. Our condolences to Joan and family, rest on peace Bill.

Grandad, I will always remember the stories, tongue and cheek mannerisms. A speech and song at every party. As kids, chased by a sheep fleeced hair piece with up turn teeth fun monster going orrrrrrrrrr, we ran off giggling. Grass so soft and a garden so yummy and plentiful, food always yummy. A bar with silly antics and playing with Japanese souvenir swords. Staying at the beach. As you grew frail in your last days, I will always remember your strength and sense of adventure. I love you and we will live on in your legacy. Love Kim Greig.
