    I met Wattie when he came to
    Australia with Colleen to visit my beautiful friend Pele. .I took them on a Cooks Tour of the the Shoalhaven. We had a lovely time. Wattie was a true gentleman. My heart goes out to all who loved him

    Wattie,
    You will be missed by many! Although we didn’t know each other well. I felt your kindness when I needed it most. Thank you for being there for my sister Colleen.
    May your journey through life be remembered and your memories held near.
    You have found your eternal home where once again we hope to unite.
    ❤️ Alison, Sean and Courtney, Thomas and Danielle.
