  26. Dear Sonia Emma and all the family. So saddened to hear of Tillios passing. A treasured friend of our whole family and workmate of Garry for forty years. Friday night beers and family meals together will always hold a place in our hearts. A knock on the door with anyone home was your calling card. Always up to give a helping hand and we shared so many laughs along with tougher times. Till loved our children like his own and I know Jord will be waiting up there with a huge hug for him. We will miss you Till. Rest easy good friend. Love Lisa Garry Shantel and Jordan Brewster. Xxxx
