  21. Rest easy beautiful Hoggy!

    How lucky we were to have you as a colleague. You mentored and supported us as rookies, never too busy to help, always gentle with wise advice and encouragement. Thankyou for always modelling to the need in a classroom to love dearly and laugh often.

    Terrific memories of Friday mornings with my Preps spent in the Library & Computers with you and your sidekick Susan. How lucky we were to have you in our professional lives, but more importantly to have you care about us decades later.

    Thanks so much Hoggy.

    Sending love to Rob and family.
