Muzz What a man, It was an honour to work with you from WHB days through to 2019. When we first met you were a crane driver and a very good one whom all the fitters hoped you were on their shift. Years on we both moved to operations and worked together and I could not have wished for a better workmate. We shared a lot of beers together Muzz.I am sure there is a cold one waiting for you in a pub with a TAB on your journey. Will miss you mate.
