  2. I have lots of fond memories of my big brother Den and they will always be with me, even though you are not anymore. You have left a huge gap in my life Den, and even though I know that you are now in your forever home, I will still miss our times together, and I can still see you sitting at my kitchen table being cheeky. My love and thoughts go out to Jackie and your children and grandchildren. You were just a big kid yourself and always were. RIP big brother Den.

  3. Yessim Duck, there will never be another like you!
    Tough as nails on the outside, big softy on the inside, 'specially when there's a critter involved
    The love and care you gave to Jackie was clear in every moment of every day
    We're gonna miss you, and it's gonna be awfully quiet without our 'farm manager'
    You've left us with some great memories
    Proud to call you my brother in law
    RIP Duck

  9. Our condolences to Jackie & all Dennis’s family & friends
    You will be sadly missed Dennis and never forgotten.
    You were a bloody good worker and then you became a really good friend. A friend that would do anything for you and always good to have a beer (VB) with. Never seen you wear anything but you shorts & singlet and at times your bare belly, LOL. Well Dennis, you have left behind one awesome partner, Jackie, and wonderful family and friends that will miss you everyday. RIP Our forever Friend.
