Tributes

  1. My condolences to Kirsten and Guy and their respective families on the very sad passing of Neil.
    A devoted and loving father and husband whose wisdom and generosity of spirit was embracing and warm.
    Neil was a gracious and community minded person, with both he and Erna contributing much to the life and culture of Shepparton and the Goulburn Valley.
    In particular I remember your humour at family dinners and great love of music.
    I also have clear vision of you busying yourself in your beautiful garden in Blamey St finding joy in the things that gave you much pleasure.
    I know that in recent years Alzheimers has taken its toll on you and the family.
    Despite this you never lost your essential kindness and goodness.
    Sending much love to your family at this time.
