'TRUCKIE'



John, you are my best friend first, husband second, business partner third. We've had the best years together and I will never forget one minute of our journey. Not sure how I will go without you by my side, supporting everything I do, but I will get there eventually. Love you to the moon and back.

- Sandy (Gladys) your loving wife.



Loved father to Lisa, loved father-in-law to Sean and loved Pa to Neve and Aidan. Always much loved and remembered so fondly.



Much loved father of Anita and father-in-law of Dan. Loved Pa of Xavier, Luca and Eva. Always remembered and forever in our hearts. Dear Pa, we will see you when we sell our rabbit skins.



Goodbye Pa Truscott, you will be sadly missed.

Love Wally, Sarah and Fred.



We loved to have a beer with John, because John is our mate.

Love Josh, Jacqui and Alex.



A very special thank you to Dr. Sam Harris, Dr. Monique Youl and all the nursing staff at the Bendigo Cancer Centre. Thanks for all your patience, smiles, banter and laughter you shared with John.



Dearly loved son of George (Dec) and Marj. Brother of Maureen, Anne and Phillip. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Love Mum.



Dearly loved brother of Anne and Trevor. Treasured Uncle of Tammy, Jayd and Chloe.

To our loyal, ever reliable, never give up, cheeky Johnny - you were the best, Mate.

You said it just the way it was and no matter the time, day or night - you were always there to help us out. Thanks Johnny - You've done us proud.

'Don't look back, sing your own song,

We'll meet again - farther along'

- Anne and Trevor.



We will miss that cheeky smile,

That boyish sense of humour,

That sparkly glint in your eye.

Your heart abundantly generous,

Honest, unselfish, dependable, and strong.



A true blue love for your country,

With all her native wonders.

Your trusty RM Williams boots,

Faithfully donned for a thirsty day's work,

Not missing a beat, listening to Slim in the Ford.



An unswerving loyalty and devotion,

To your family and those you called Mate.

We were blessed to have shared,

A hearty laugh and a beer,

With one of the best, such a great bloke!



Uncle Johnny, my Godfather,

Cherished and loved.

You will continue to enrich,

All those you have touched.

Your spirit lives on forever, eternally in our hearts.



- Tammy and Locky, Spencer, Charlotte, Poppy and Stella.



Jacko,

I remember the pipe, the ashtray and just a few beers,

So many good times we all shared ... cheers.

I remember the dogs, the cars, and the trucks,

It won't be the same, but we'll get by with some luck.



Teaching people about motors or how to handle a car,

You loved helping others, your greatest asset by far.

I loved all the times we shared drinking Guinness,

There's no doubt old mate, you'll surely be missed.



You showed me the way making sure it was Ford,

That'll live on, by George, of that rest assured.

So goodbye, my mate, you mouldy old dog,

In you we have lost, a heart of pure gold.



And if someone should ask, am I doing ok,

There's only one option, I'll just have to say,

Gotta pick myself up, and get back on the horse,

Even though I am sad, I'm as good as buggery, of course.

Luv ya mate.

- Jayd and Melita, Kyra, Marli and Mackenzie.



Johnny,

Always the life of the party and never afraid to share a yarn and have a laugh.

Your stories continued to amaze me right until the end.

Thank you for driving me to my wedding in your treasured Tank, and your special commentary on the way.

We will miss you Johnny.

- Chloe and Luke, Zoe and Zac.
