To my dear friend Tania,
Our condolences to you and the family on the sad passing of your dad. I shall attend his ceremony by live stream. Thank you for your invite. x x x
To the Murtagh Family
Great loss to you all and the wider community.
Having known Syd’ for around 50 years and commencing my working life with Syd back in the late 70’s, he was character of the first order, loved by all his work colleagues and with a heart of gold .
Although there was the odd scary trip traveling to and from work with Syd before I obtained my licence!!
Apologies I am unable to attend the ceremony as I am working overseas but I am sure all will send him off just as Syd would have liked.
Best regards
Crando
To Graham and the Murtagh family
A great character and will be sadly missed by all .
