The family wish to sincerely thank Dr. Harrison, and the staff at Southern Cross Care, Bucklands, for their kindness and support.

Dear Dad and Nonno, saying goodbye is hard, but we’re so thankful for everything you gave us. You were calm, kind, and always there — never needing many words to show how much you cared. We’ll always remember your quiet strength and the love you shared so freely. You’ve left us with so many good memories and lessons we’ll carry with us forever. Love always, Frank, Rosa-Lee, Vince, Izaiah and Phoebe.

Dear Dad and Nonno, you were a true gentleman in every aspect of your life. We are so grateful for all the special memories spent together and wish we could have a lifetime more. Nonna and Aunty Maria will be waiting for you with open arms, cherish being together again. You were such a wonderful and kind man, we were so lucky you were ours. Love you forever, Tony, Julie, Marie, Victoria, Andrew and Anthony.

A quiet, gentle man with the kindest heart. Dad and Nonno, you gave so much to us without ever needing to be asked, always working hard and always putting your family first. At your happiest when tending your veggie patch with care and pride. A place where you found peace, and where your patience and dedication shone. We will miss your calm presence, your warm smile, and the way your love was felt in everything you did, not through grand words, but through quiet acts of love. Forever in our hearts, Lydia, Michael, Alexander and Amelia.
