Clare Verde (nee Secker) -

There's a saying about the quality of a life lived - that it shows in the hearts of others after you're gone. The many that are missing him shows what a star he was. So sorry I can't be there on the day. I'll be thinking of you all. Love, cousin Clare xxx


Terry Garlick -

A friend and golfing partner for many years. Great company. A Committee Member and Competitions Organiser. On behalf of the Valley View Golf Club, our Condolences.


Anthony Fitzsimmons -

I am so sorry to hear of your passing. You will be missed by all of the Valley View Golf Club members for your contribution to the game, in particular the "pitch and putt competition'. RIP. From your friend, Tony Fitz.


Kerry Stringer -

I’ve been thinking a lot about the kind of impact one person can have, and you were that rare kind of soul who helped shape my life. You weren’t just a mentor, you were a second father. Your door was always open, your smile always real, your hugs always safe. You gave love freely, but you also never shied away from telling me the hard truths I needed to hear. Those lessons carried me from my late teens right through to my twenties, and they still shape who I am today. You believed in me long before I learned how to believe in myself. That sort of guidance becomes part of a person’s bones. Thank you for every moment, every tough conversation, every gentle nudge, and every bit of wisdom you shared with me.


Sue Greaves (nee Klar) -

Bomber and Trish Lloyd -

Our condolences and sympathy to Jayne, Mary and the rest of Yogi’s family. We apologise for not being able to attend his funeral today but we are sure the old Roxby family gave him a farewell he was truly deserving of. We have fond memories of Yogi from Olympic Dam cricket club and in recent years when we saw him at football games at Adelaide Oval. Love Bomber and Trish Lloyd
