  2. Uncle Barry will be missed greatly. I remember as a pre-teen boy coming down from Ballarat to Geelong with my family to see all his family and often MaMa and Pop would there as well. It was always a fun time with everyone. I remember spending hours sitting on the various motorbikes he'd have in his garage over the years. Dreaming of riding all over the countryside. His passion for fine motorbikes and cars was a joy to behold. He could transform old pieces of rusty bits into a "bespoke" classic. I loved how he could do that.
    See you in heaven Uncle Barry . Love Pete
