    Ken, Susie and families – Vic and I send our heartfelt condolences to you all. Your Dad was one of the kindest gentlemen ever and always brought a smile to my face. He never stopped calling me fru-fru, even when I was well past wearing them. Both he and your Mom will be sorely missed.

    My condolences to all the Tilley family. We had the pleasure of residing beside George & Irene, for a few years on Arncliffe.

    George was such a kind generous man. His fantastic little wood carving&&single&&s for the kids, George was always at the ready to lend a neighbouring hand. I can see George running about on his sitdown lawnmower in the back yard. He was a fine gentlemen.

    Sorry for your loss
