  9. Will miss you Lui,
    Summer bought fires and you were a huge contributor to emergency response. As logistics support you bought a smile to every one’s face with no problem being too big to solve.
    You always shared how much you loved going to the Governor’s Multicultural Gala event to celebrate being Australian.
    Condolences to your family and friends.
    Always happy, always helpful!

  13. Deepest sympathy to all the Colarusso family for their loss of beloved Luigi from Bill Di Iorio and family

  14. Lui will be greatly missed. He was forever quick with a broad grin and a warm greeting for everyone. Lui had an infectious energy and humour that made you feel better for the encounter and time spent in his company. I remember being in a tight situation with him on Black Saturday when we needed to decide whether to stay to defend or leave. There was a long pause as everyone in the group thought hard and looked at each other. Lui broke the silence announced it was not worth the risk to stay as his kids and family was too important. What a tribute to him and the value he placed on his closest. My thoughts are with his family and friends.
