Thinking of you all at this sad time in your lives.My cousin Kerry was a lovely gentleman.. From Aunty Noelene.Raewyn.Paul and Dianne
All my best Kate, Michael, Bridget, and James. I was passing by your corner in Eltham recently and the last 50 years just fell away. The last time I saw him we were fiddling with the projector to get the mass going at Jean Sandel. He was always helping out somewhere and I loved his relaxed, often a little amused, way of getting through things. I think I was more stressed by that mess of cables than he was. I know he'll leave a gap at J.S. but also that his way of living in this world will endure. kieran
Our very warmest condolences to you, Kate, Michael, Bridget and James and families. Kerry was an absolute gentleman. He had a deep faith and this faith and goodness played out in his everyday life. He was warm, empathetic and compassionate. He cared deeply about others and enjoyed helping them Our friendship with Kerry and Judith span over 60 years and what we had was very special. We have many precious memories that we will always treasure and will hold onto tightly. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we send much love as you say goodbye to a dearly loved father and cherished Gill and Colin.
