Tributes

  1. The Doyle and Hitch families were very close growing up together on Moama St in Braybrook. Johnny, John, Jack spent much of his early life at our house and I at his. Jack and I were inseparable right through primary school at Our Lady’s in Sunshine. We even worked together for a bit and all through those years Jack was the best of friends who provided lots of laughs and was always exceedingly generous with sharing what he had. Unfortunately we went our separate ways as adults and never managed to come together again. Our family were deeply saddened to hear of Jack’s passing and would like to send our deepest sympathies to the Doyle family, particularly Joanne, Jessica and Jack.
    Goodbye to an old friend, Bernard.

  3. Hello, to all. To John Doyle, Jack, as we all knew him .. I know we had bad times but we had plenty of better times, I'm sorry I wasn't there. I have loved you all my life. There is many things I can thank you thinking of The Times I would come around. And you would help me do my apprenticeship homework from giving me a hard time at the workshop which was good for me and I didn't know it. I'm sorry to your family and I love you all god bless ..
    Say G'day to dad for me .. I will have a piece of fish and 2 thin potato cakes ready for you. Thank you.
