  17. Dear Francee,
    It was with sadness that we learned of the unexpected death of Alex. We cannot begin to image the pain you and your family must be going through. Alex was more than a workmate at the Shire of Colac-he always rushed to help and gave great advice and support. We will always remember his kindhearted nature.
    We wish you and your family a lot of strength and hope the precious memories you carry in your hearts will help you through this challenging time.

    Our thoughts are with you,

    Ray and Sandy Leak

    Still the best CAT DRIVER I have ever seen.
