Not sure what to say?

Fond memories of years 7 to 10 at school with the best teacher, deepest sympathy to Mr.Edwards' family and friends, R.I.P

Treasured memories of a happy, fun loving, young uncle, taken far too soon.
I will always remember with a smile, the great times and hilarity that ensued, whenever the family gathered together at Herbert St.
Much love to Jen, Jess, Sam and Hunter, also to Kerrin and Steve, Uncle Greg and Auntie Heather- our thoughts are with you all at this very sad time.
Love from Janet and Steve

I always admired Uncle Phil for his inherent and unquestionable talent for writing; and for turning it into a career at the Examiner. He was always willing to help anyone. I benefitted from his advice and experience, particularly when studying. Thank you, Uncle Phil.

I have very happy memories of the legendary, rambunctious family gatherings at Herbert Street.

There's another place at that table now; he's sitting with Sarah, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Snooks, Uncle Chris, Auntie...

Our sincere condolences and love to Jen, Jess, Sam and Hunter on the passing of their much loved Father.
Steve, Joanna and Michael Yates
