​

Artie,
Having so many memories to cherish,
your love will never leave me.
I will treasure all our time we had.
The 30 plus years we were together, seems but a moment.
I will never forget you,
Your loving wife
Barbara

​

Dad, you were meant to come home.
But you were taken away from us much too soon, and sadly we had to say goodbye.
Although the time will pass, our love for you and our memories will always stay.
Dad, you will live in our hearts forever.
Lorraine, Peter, Grant and Ryan.
Reunited with Mum
 

You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place, that no one will ever fill.
It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone; for part of me went with you, the day God took you home.
Gordon, Kylie, Chris, Ashley and Kane

Artie

Your smile and laugh are imprinted in our minds forever.
You were kind and happy.
Cherished by everyone.
Love Fiona, Gary, Bianca and Kaylem
 

Artie
You were more a mate not just a stepfather, we had many memorable trips away, touring around leaving me great memories.
You did well for a 1936 model, maybe a bit heavy on the juice.
I shed many a tear over your passing.
Cheers, Jason Lambrecht.

​

Artie,
You’re one extraordinary old bugger.
You were there for me when I lost my parents.
I was very honoured to say my final farewell as you passed.
A life well lived, a soul so loved.
“Give em hell up there Artie”
