Sorry I can’t be with you all at this time as I’m away overseas

Dear Mrs Opray, Wendy and the extended Opray family..

Mr Opray was such a kind, friendly and beautiful gentleman. A real favourite of my family.

I remember all the times we chatted at high school Parent/Teacher nights, casserole lunches, sports days and also, at the Sheepdog Trials.

Mr O was so supportive and helpful with my Dad at Lodge, particularly keeping an eye out for me to be dropping Dad off for the evening and making sure the doors were unlocked and open. Mr ‘Opree’ as Dad used to call him, was so well liked and respected by both my Dad and Granddad, who had both known him for many years. They valued his friendship and trusted him implicitly as a man of loyalty, honesty and true to his word.

I send to you all, on behalf of my family, our love and sincerest best wishes at this really sad time. Mr O will leave a huge hole in your hearts, and in the local community.

George Palmer (dec),
Jo Palmer,
