Dad,
Sometimes we look back and think of things we could have done better, now I look back and think it would have been nice just to catch up every now and then even if it was for just a round of golf and a chat.
RIP
Michael Crooks
Nev was a tireless advocate for Veteran's golf over many years. He was President of St Georges Basin Veterans golf and was awarded life membership in recognition of his years of service. Nev was also President of the Mid South Coast Veteran Golfers Association. Nev's efforts in promoting Veteran's golf is very much admired and appreciated and his roles will be difficult to replace.
We send our sincere sympathy to Jocelyn and family and share your sadness as we reflect on our friendship and good times.
Neville and I were about 6 and 7 years of age when Uncle Jim bought a new bore for the pigsty and wow ...it had tusks! ..so this particular day we decided to go take a closer look and jumped the fence into the compound and the next thing we know, the bore is heading towards us at full speed and was now between us and the fence. Thank goodness for the old Morten Bay fig tree…You’ve never seen two kids climb a tree so fast and there we sat until someone came looking for us. Thanks for the memory Nev. Your loving cousin, Marcia.
