  4. John and Jo, Tony and Mary, Susan and Michael and families, Our very deepest sympathy to you all on the passing of your loved father and opa. When Garry and Corrie moved to Poowong East 50 years ago, after they purchased their farm from Barry’s uncle they were our very good neighbours. Our children all grew up together as they were all the same ages. Garry and Corrie were both very hard and willing workers for the Poowong East Community. We thank you Garry for your friendship over many years. Beryl Olsen and family.
