WILMS - Lyle Harvey

Passed away suddenly but peacefully on September 12, 2025.

Aged 84 years.

Beloved husband of Margaret.

Much loved father of Mark and Lisa, Paul and Sue, Scott and Judy-Anne.

Adored Old Pa of Thomas, Brady, Ali, Rory, Hannah, Jessica, Keegan and Nicholas.

Joining the Geelong Cheer Squad in the Sky!

​

Died doing what he loved, travelling by train to visit a good friend and enjoying farm life.

I am sure he will be cheering on his beloved Cats from above.

Loved husband for more than fifty years. Now time to rest.

Marg

​

Dad, You left without saying goodbye, but we are grateful that you passed away peacefully doing what you enjoyed.

Will miss the phone calls asking 'How much rain did you get?' or what the weather was doing.

We will be barracking hard for the Cats for you.

Loved forever.

Mark and Lisa

​

Pa, We are so thankful that your last moments were doing something that you loved.

Going to coffee club, spending time and chatting with your mates.

Then jumping on the train to go visit another mate.

Forever on the train.

Rory and Keegan

​

Dad, We were heart broken when we heard you had suddenly left us, no goodbye.

You were such a loving caring person.

You supported me through good times and bad.

I am going to miss the weather and rainfall updates.

Paul and Sue

'I am on the train again (Where?) On the train'

Go Cats

​

Old Pa, You left us doing what you loved, riding on the train off to visit one of your many friends.

We will miss chatting with you about the weather and listening to you cheering on the Cats (and your grumpiness when they lost). We hope your TV remote up there is easy to use.

GO CATS

Love Ali, Jess and Nicholas xxoo

​

Dad, I'm going to miss our chats on the phone and in person, whether it be football, the weather, or the rainfall.

I loved going to the football with you to watch the mighty Cats play! I was not expecting you to go so suddenly, it’s going to be hard to not have you in our lives.

I love you Dad and we are going to miss you greatly.

Love Scott and Jude

​

Old Pa, I am going to miss having you by my side at every Geelong football game, asking me who is that, how long is left and what happened there? But l am glad our shared passion for football brought us so close.

I will cherish every memory.

Goodbye for now.

Love Tommy

​

Pa, I'll miss having you around and asking what racehorses I've shod recently and seeing how happy you were when l had shod a winner. I'II love and cherish these memories.

Love you Pa.

Love from Brady

​

I will miss you Old Pa forever and always.

Thank you for being a wonderful Grandpa, you'll never be forgotten, and our memories will bring us comfort.

Love Hannah
