Having a drink for the late Bobby Daisley with the Ring of Fire playing. 🥂
Sadly we couldn't be there today but you've sent him off in style that's for sure.
A lot of tears were shed watching the livestream with some wonderful photos and memories.
The Port won't be the same now - sometimes life is bloody bullshit as Bobby would have said.
With love from cousin Tracee Karydis and Steve Jackson (Gold Coast)

Our sincere sympathy to Cheryl and family. In the late 50's I spent some exciting times with Fatboy delivering milk. He used to get the horse to lock up all four feet in power stops. Later on he graduated to the International truck, no delivery was complete without doing doughnuts on elite parts of the Esplanade. The good old days.

Sympathy and condolences to Cheryl, Robyn,Mark and families. I've only known you for 25+ years Bobby but we crammed some fun and laughs into that time. Lyn and I looked forward to your daily visits to catch up on the local gos. We couldn't catch a fish to save ourselves but we had a lot of fun trying. Our punting efforts could go down in folklore they were that successful (haha).Miss ya mate, keep on truckin.
