  1. Can’t believe my Friend of 50+ years has left our lives. Playing bingo at Port Albert …jumping off the jetty fully clothed on a stinking hot day. Our days of working at On Course Totalisator. Many days spent selling raffle tickets for Paliative Care. You were a part of our lives for so long. Missing you Cobi…deepest sympathy to Shane and Russell…..Marg and Alan Bruerton.
