To my dearest Tony, my life partner and my best friend, It's hard to walk the road alone instead of side by side, But there comes a time for all of us when the path of life divides. And as you have gone before me, one thing I ask of you, walk slowly down the Heavenly path till I catch up with you. Forever in my heart, your loving wife and soul mate, Lisa (Lee) Dad, You taught me so much. How to be a carpenter, a plumber, a farmer, an engineer and another 20 different trades but most of all you taught me right from wrong, good from bad, and you taught me respect. Rest now Dad, you've done your duty. It's my turn to look after Mum and the family. Love you always, your son Joe and Heather, Lisa-Marie and Josh, Daniella and Peter, Anthony and Kim. You can knock off now Dad. To our loving Dad/Nonno, As we stood beside your bedside and watched you fade away, our hearts were almost broken as you fought so hard to stay. We know you didn't want to leave, but you were never alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home. We will never forget you Dad, love you forever. Love Grace (Graka), Rob, Lauren, Maurie, Michael and Jayme. Dad, You worked so hard all your life to give your family a better life. You fought so hard to stay with us, the pain you suffered was too great. The loss and heartache I feel now will never go away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will always stay. So proud to be your daughter, so proud to call you dad. I am forever grateful for all the love we had. Rest now dad and be at peace for all your suffering is complete. Forever in my heart, your loving daughter Marie-Marie x God looked around His garden And He found an empty place. He then looked down upon this earth, and saw your tired face. He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. God's garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough, And the hills were hard to climb, So He closed your weary eyelids, And whispered "Peace be thine". It broke our hearts to lose you But you didn't go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. All our love and forever in our hearts, Mary (Marie-Marie), John, James and Daniel. Dearest Dad, Your life was one of sacrifice, Your heart was true and tender, You worked so hard for those you loved and left us to remember. Your toiling hands are now still and your spirit free. Rest now Papa. Forever in our hearts, Love Julie, Tony and Jacob. Nonno, We still expect to see you on the tractor, up a ladder, or on your bench in the sun. We will miss your stories, your cheeky sense of humour and your wisdom. We love you so very much. Lots of love, your grandkids. My dear brother Tony, It is with heartfelt sadness that we had to say goodbye. You fought a courageous battle, you fought so hard to stay. Your love of the land was always in your blood, up until the day. We will remember and cherish to good times together. Always in our hearts and never forgotten. Love your brother Domenico, sister-in-law Christine, niece Tina and Gianni Magrini and family, nephew Joe and Diana Trimboli and family. xxxxxxx To my beloved brother Tony, It is with deep hearts and sorrow that we say farewell.

"Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed, and very dear" Precious, everlasting memories. As the youngest member of the family I have fond childhood memories of you spoiling me with little treats. Being my eldest brother you would take me everywhere with you, we would go to the produce market, or around the farm in the old dodge or the truck. As a young man you took on a lot of responsibility working alongside Pop, and like him you were inventive and engineered new machinery. You had a sense of style and class, loved to go dancing and we both loved your Monaro. Uncle Tony you lived next door and we will always have fond memories of you, especially at Christmas, we always looked forward to seeing your Christmas star. It is hard to believe that you are no longer here with us. You will live on in our hearts and memories. Love your brother Joe, sister in-law Mary, nieces and nephews Grace, Cathy, John, Joe, Teresa, Chloe, Sienna, Ariana The family would like to sincerely thank Dr Sam Nitchingham and Dr Ben Teh from the Virginia Medical Centre as well as Dr David Rodda and all the staff in the Tibbits Ward at the Calvary Wakefield Hospital for their dedicated care and support.
