Following the sudden loss of our cherished husband, father, father-in-law and grandad, Noel, we would like to extend our sincere and heartfelt thanks to everyone who has supported us during this incredibly difficult time.

A special thank you to Liza and Pete for your unwavering support when we needed it most.

We are deeply grateful to St John Ambulance, Fire and Emergency, and the Police for the care, compassion and professionalism shown on the night Noel passed away.

Our thanks also go to Anneke and the team at Distinct Funerals for the respectful care of Noel and for supporting our family throughout.

To Carmen Stewart, thank you for the beautiful and fitting tribute to Noel, and for your kindness and guidance during such a challenging week.

We are especially thankful to Jackson for taking Noel on his final ride — he would have been enormously proud of you.

Thank you to the Agricentre South team for taking the time to clean Noel’s ute and transporter; that gesture meant more to us than words can express.

A heartfelt thank you to Miriam for the endless coffees that helped keep us all going — your kindness and thoughtfulness will never be forgotten.

To all those who visited, sent flowers, cards, hampers, baking, messages, and continue to check in on us — we will be eternally grateful for your kindness, love, and ongoing support.

With sincere thanks,

Annette, Toni, Glen, Leah, James and their families
