  19. RIP Uncle Dick. He has left us with a lifetime of great memories; on the farm, family gatherings, fishing, the trots and footy. He always had plants, produce and seeds to share. Uncle Dick always enjoyed a chat and we loved his cheeky smile. He was a great brother to my Mum and Uncle to our family. Lots of love to Auntie Lorna and our Cousins, from Beth, Blacky and family.
