Tributes

  1. Dad, the weeks have passed, every day I think of you and reflect on a special memory of a time we shared together. I miss your smile, your interest in what I was up to, the conversations we would have, you always said "its good to have a go at new things". You loved the photos I would show you of landscapes, flowers, trees, the great grandchildren and stories of places I had been recently. You reflected many times on the various countries you and Mum had visited and you were always grateful of the life you created here in Australia. I know you will always be with me, however I miss being able to sit with you, even when we sat in contented silence together.

  4. Sad to say goodbye to Mr Bukacek - Freddy - a wonderful man, lots of laughs, he was always caring and made me feel part of his family. I fondly remember times at Mansfield and how he let us young girls drive the paddock bombs around! I was inspired and awed by his history- from humble beginnings in war torn Europe, his courage bought him to Australia where he created a successful life and business, a man to be admired and applauded. My sympathies to the loving family he leaves behind, Helen, Susan, Annette, Carol & Marie. With love from Janita Friend (Lalor) and family xxx
