    Hi Deb, Sorry to hear about the passing of “Drinky”. He was forever a hard case and the life of the party wherever he went.
    He was a respected worker and a great mate at AFFCO. Unfortunately because of contract work I will not be able to get down to his funeral but Lyn and I will think of you all on the day. Our sympathy and best wishes go out to you all. RIP
