Bloody cracking service Hock.
Your friends and family have done you proud mate.

I’m glad to say that we’ve shared a beer and Bundy over the journey at the club rooms.

Your large as life personality will be missed by me, and by many at the South Barwon FNC.

Rest well mate.

Cheers,
Ox

Hock, we met you when the boys arrived at Murghie to try their hand at cricket. To this day they still proudly talk about you as their first coach. You encouraged and guided them as if they were your own – it is where they developed a love for the game alongside Coop. We are forever grateful for this mate and have such fond memories of these early days. That loud distinct laugh, constant jibes about our footy team that can’t win a final and lovable larrikin presence will live on in our memories. Your passion & enthusiasm at our kids sporting clubs will be greatly missed & just like you did with our boys, I will always keep a keen eye on Coop and his sporting feats into the future, knowing just how proud you were.
Rest easy Hock, here’s cheers to you.

Hock, you will be missed by those who loved you x

Be Still, by Kirli Saunders:
Delicate soul,
make time to be still.
Lie in fields of flowers
and hear their petals hum
let their rhythm become yours
and bloom as they do,
in the places people least expect.
Know your roots
and grow from them,
climb ever to the sun
and have the shadows
fall behind you.

Hock.

I’m so sad that we won’t have many more years of having a drink together watching our boys play footy and cricket together, or having a beer with them, after their games, and listening to music or watching sport together.

Such a good club man- very honest in your appraisals, but the first to chip in and help out – The loveable rogue – with a big kind heart.

Thanks for all of your help with the boys.

You were their mate, as well as ours. They’ll really miss you too.

You and Gayle always provided a safe and welcoming space for the whole gang.

We’ll always be here for Cooper, Mitch and Gayle, mate.

Gone way too soon

Hock, you always had a way to wind us boys up! Your beloved Tigers could do no wrong and the banter between us all is now a cherished memory.
You were always supportive of the boys at South throughout their footy journey and always cared for their well-being.
May you now watch from above mate with a beer in hand!
You will be missed by all!
Cheers mate!

Hockey Stix.
Miss you so f…. much.
I’m so glad I got a Nedwood cuddle on Sunday.
RIP Big fella.
I’ll look after Gaylo as promised.
