Maurie ...I really am at a loss as to what to write. This has come as a huge shock. You were the most wonderful man, one of the best! We had some fabulous times at PGG with a lot of laughs.
I only saw you a few weeks back on the golf course while I was out walking and we stopped to chat. You looked so good (as you always did), you never seemed to age and you were your normal cheery self. We chatted about the grandies and life in general. I cannot believe you are gone just like that.
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to you Pam, and all the family. I know what a close knit unit you are. Im so sorry I couldn't be with you today.
I feel so privileged and grateful to have known you Maurie and had some amazing times with you both through work.
Rest in Peace my friend xx
