  5. Mary, Ange, Jeanette, Mat, Caroline and Lucy and respective families All our love, Mary you picked a ‘good one’ for a husband, father and grandfather. He will be well remembered. Wendy and Chris. Remembering his warm laugh and sense of humour, as an 8 year old, I can recall getting a phone call from an excited Peter telling me I had won First Prize in the Gazzard Retrovsion Footy Tipping Competition and to guess what the prize was ‘A Footy Jumper?’ “No!” ‘Great, a football’ “No you won something even more special……a Steam Iron” followed by his hearty laugh, that warm laugh never left me, and I soon forgot about the Footy. Sleep Well Brother.
