Vincent Michael (St Vinnie/The Captain)
Loved big Brother and Brother In Law of Brendan and Pam. Treasured Uncle to Ben & Sam. A highly respected community member and family man who loved to help others. Vinnie was larger than life itself. We will miss our weekly coffees, laughs and footy reviews at the car yard, our CFA talks, and our racing days trying to back a winner. Ben and Sam loved the interest and encouragement you gave to them.You were taken far too quickly, there was so much left to say and so much more to do. You may no longer be by our sides but our love and respect for you will be in our hearts forever. We will always cherish the memories of our time with you.
Our thoughts, love and support to Helen, Shona and Michael. The love, care and peace you gave to Vinnie is something we will never forget.
RIP Big Brother

Loved father of Michael and Shona. Silently I watched you fade away, It was agony seeing this everyday. The love I felt caring for you will remain with me forever. Cherished moments shared along with laughter, and some tears. The determination you showed was so inspiring. We took each day as it came and all did our best to comfort you. "My words are few, my thoughts are deep, memories of you I will always keep. In my heart you will always stay, Loved and remembered every day." Rest Peacefully Vin - Helen "Wife". To my loving Dad, an amazing role model you have been to me. It was such a privilege to look after you and help carry out your wish of dying at home. You were the best patient and even in the toughest times for you, we managed to laugh and appreciate the little things in life, like the bubbles in the Pepsi Max, as you said to me "That drink is Absolutely Marvellous!". You held my hands as you passed away, an everlasting moment to stay with me forever. You may be gone from my sight, but you will never be gone from my heart. Love ya Dad. - Shona "Daughter" XXOO. Always in our Hearts Now Resting Peacefully
