To my Dad,
I know it wasn’t easy to raise me and there is no way I can ever pay you back.
I just want to let you know that you were my hero, my first love and always my safe place.
It doesn’t matter how far I go in life, I’m who I am because of you! I’m strong, resilient, passionate, can pack a car or back a trailer and am fiercely independent because you showed me how!
I will ALWAYS be your little girl, and you’ll always be my loving father!
Thank you for loving and doting on the girls! They will miss their park dates, ice creams and juice boxes, but most of all the hugs and kisses!
Memories forever, until we meet again! See you in every sunset DAD!
I LOVE YOU,
Love your heartbroken daughter Lee -
Sending all my love.
What a beautiful man.
💔. -
Dad,
No matter what words I write here will never ever be enough for the amount of gratitude and love I have for everything you did for me in my life.
Whether it was driving me everywhere to play sport all over the country side.
To even coming to visit me wherever I had gone around this world to chase my own dreams.I’m going to miss picking up the phone and chatting about just about anything to you.
Especially going to miss the texts around what terrible punting tips you would pass through (no just joking Dad, you did share a lot of good winners).I’m going to especially miss the fishing and camping trips we had together and sitting around the campfire and having a beer together or with many of your great mates.
I am happy and grateful we did get one last one trip in with great mates and you got to catch a big Barra.
The impact you had on our lives and many others is unmeasurable.
The impact you had on my life shaped me as becoming my own man. Many of those qualities are what has and always will drive me to chase my dreams and try work as hard as possible to be half the man you were.
Don’t worry up there, we will make sure that all those jobs are done for mum and she is supported in every way.
Rest easy now Dad, and enjoy those catch up beers with the others who left us way too early.
Love you Dad.
Your loving and forever grateful son.

Dear Rob and family. We are so saddened to hear of Ken’s passing. What a top guy. From my early days working with the city of Swan Hill where I first met Ken, then my brief time with this rural council Ken was always tops. It was always lovely to bump into Ken after we both left council and have a chat. He was always positive and interested in the goings on of those he knew. We are so sorry. Stay strong. Memories last forever.. Marg and Bill Lucardie

Dear Robyn, Lee & Lucas,
Please accept my deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers on the passing of Ken.
As a young man straight out of uni and working in an office for the first time, Ken taught me valuable work lessons like morning and afternoon smoko! He would always make sure I was included at smokos and would often yell out as he passed me in the SHRCC hallway;
“Berger, stop what you are doing and come and grab a cuppa!”
He also taught me to pour cold milk into my instant coffee so the hot water does not burn the coffee!
And of course he also taught me the land use planning basics, which has been the foundation to my professional career for the past 26 years.
Thanks Ken for all your kindness, knowledge sharing and welcome friendship during my short time in Swan Hill.
RIP Ken
