ANDERSON, William Allan (Bill):
It is with much sadness we announce that our Bill has gone to meet his Carole. Recently diagnosed with heart failure, it was his wishes to die at his beloved beach, and he did – quicker than any of us thought. He was proud of his granddaughters and stoked to be Great Billy to Emi, telling us he could go in peace as his girls were all grown up. Much loved Dad and Bill of Sarah and Peter, and Rebecca Barclay, Cindy, Devon, Charlotte (his Charli Horse), and Emi. Loved brother of Elen Miller and friend of Bob Davidson. Much loved uncle of his 3 nieces and the late Murray and Paul Miller. Special thanks to the Toko Mouth Community, it takes a village to care for their elderly. Thanks to the wrap around medical support teams. We will be having an informal gathering at the Toko Mouth Hall on Saturday, June 21 at 1pm. Come along with your beverages and share a yarn. A donation to St John can be made in lieu of flowers. Messages to: 5 Croydon Siding Road RD6 Gore.
