Late of Telarah
Aged 71 Years
Loving husband of MARGE. Beloved father of CRAIG, VAUGHAN, DEANE and stepfather of TAMMY, CAROL, DEBBIE, NATALIE, BARRY and their Families. Loved grandfather, great grandfather, brother, brother-in-law, uncle and friend of many.
Relatives and Friends were warmly invited to attend NEIL`s Funeral Service on TUESDAY 4.2.2014 at Newcastle Memorial Park, Anderson Drive, Beresfield, commencing at 12 noon.
Neil`s company. A beer and a laugh, a chat about the days events, or events of the world, usually ended up talking about the rugby. We didn`t get together often, but when we did it was good.
The thing I enjoyed most though, was shaking his hand when we greeted each other. He had big hands, a tradesmans hands. Big, hard, callouses, splinters, nicks and cuts, and every one of them with a story to tell, yet at the same time, they were soft and warm and gentle.
You can tell a lot about a bloke by his hands and his handshake, and every man who reads this will know what I mean, he was a knockabout bloke who had a gentle heart, and gentle soul, and I knew that from the very first time I shook his hand.
