  7. Joel, I always loved going away on fire deployment with you. We always had a good laugh, it was like being away camping with mates. You are highly respected person who many looked up to. Always looking out for others and happy to share advice. Will miss our chats in the bush.

    Dean, Veronica and Rikki, you have created a wonderful person who I highly valued. You should be so proud.

    Dean I’m hurting for you. I know you’d do anything to help Joel. You are a great person who I look up to as a dad. You helped me so much a few years back and I’ll never forget it. You were so proud of Joel and his achievements. Really hurting for you all.
