Deepest sympathy to all family members. He was the nicest, friendly guy. Always with a smile and having time to chat. I worked with Gwen in Longwood Lifestyle Resthome. RIP Eddie, up there only takes the best

My dearest condolences Gwen for the loss of your brother Eddie (Dibbles)
Sorry I was unable to attend his memorial, I have fond memories of working with Eddie and having a lot of laughs and fun when we were supposed to be working. His white DB DRAUGHT cap he wore for years, and at least once a week he would set free a lunch box of lizards on the bar of the main street pub. The loss of another legend.

You have put your mark on a lot of people in your life from workmates in the forestry, doing bike-a-thons, and enjoying a beer or two with family and friends.
RIP old friend 🧡

You left us with so many good memories Uncle Eddie. Your room at the back of the garage is decorated so well for the male members of the family to enjoy. Your endless supply of lollies at the family picnics. Your big personality and great stories to be heard.

Eddie, you have been part of our family for a very long time. Helping to build a tree hut for the boys in the hedge and stairs for them to get up. The last time I saw you we sat out on the lawn looking at the beautiful garden having a yarn. I called in last Saturday to do it all again but wasn't to be. Be at peace Eddie, climb those stairs and be free of pain good friend.
