  17. Condolences and Sympathy to Judy, Kylie and Families.
    I felt so very sad when I heard the news of your passing, we had many laughs and beers together when working away in Sydney and Singleton all those years ago when I had hair and a sense of humour Ken, but being your boss on a couple of jobs I quickly lost both but you had a great attitude and love of life which made you many friends wherever you went.
    We had many differences of opinions when it came to having a bet and me telling you that you were so lucky to have married someone from Yallourn North.
    You will never be forgotten mate and I will shed a tear and a laugh when next we meet. RIP Butch.

    Butch you are now pain free and reunited with Scott.

    I bet the beers are flowing free and so many stories are being told with Pete and Masta, I bet there is a few bullshit stories in there.

    Going to miss you greeting me with “How are ya Bitch” with my reply “Good ya Bastard”

    Sleep peacefully Butchy
