Dear Jan, Tony, Jarrod, Stacey, and families,
Please accept my heartfelt condolences on the passing of your beloved husband, father, and granddad. I was saddened to hear of Bo's passing and am thinking of you all during this difficult time.
We have so many fond memories of Bo over the years — from the teaspoon on the back of the hand lol to sharing his passion and love for rugby. He was such a well-known and memorable character, and his presence will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
May the love and support of family and friends, and the many treasured memories you shared together, bring you comfort in the days ahead.
Sending our deepest sympathy from Shelley and family xx
