I feel like I have known you all most of my life, (I think because of my brother Tommy) but again since I met Colin Hibbs. My thoughts are with you at this time

Trevor, Allan, Lynley, Neville and families, my deep sympathies and lots of love to you all. It was very special watching the live stream, just sorry I wasn't able to be there.
Uncle Doug was certainly one of life's good buggers, and I have many memories of that grin accompanied with a nip of gin. Rest easy Doug.

Our deepest sympathy on the loss of Doug. Thinking of you all at this time.
it was lovely Dad (Sid) and Doug had the opportunity to meet again and share memories of their younger days. Doug sure was a handsome bloke from the photos and they shared some good times.
