Dear Janine and Marty, Logan, Zoe and Sophie
I am so saddened to hear the passing of your dear dad and Grandad.
I remember him fondly behind the counter of the Belvedere Store when I used to come stay. I think his first words every time I saw him were, ‘How are you, Janines out the back.’ Every. Single. Time.
He was such a a hard worker providing the best for his family.
Rest in peace Mike.

The 19th Hole
A hallowed place, where golfers convene,
To share their tales, and what might have been.
But now we gather, in solemn repose,
To honor your memory, as our hearts disclose.
Your laughter echoes, like a distant birdie call,
A reminder of the joy, you brought to us all.
We yearn for one more round, one more chance to play,
But the course of life, has led you away.
Our tears fall softly, like dew on the green,
A testament to the love, for you, we convene.
In the 19th hole, we’ll forever share,
The memories of you, our golfer so rare.
