Tributes

Dear Win,

Have read on the internet of Georges passing, and may I express my sympathy to you and all your family at this time.

Still have happy memories of the youthful visits to 11 Lake Road Frankton, and also holiday visits to the Burrell Family at Huntly.

While we all have gone our separate ways in life, it nevertheless is sad to see another chain in our history broken.

Currently am visiting my tribe in Brisbane so will not be able to attend George’s Funeral ,although we be think of you at the time.

Hope you are well and am sure the family is there to support you in these times. Ross Harvey
