Where do I start, I can't remember what year I met Dad/ Paul/ Burkey, but he was one of those people who you meet and you feel like you have known him forever, he was funny, kind, thoughtful & generous.  Once he had a win on the Horses ( Something that didn't happen very often, ask me about Rooster Booster!!) and he took a few of us out for a meal at the Carnevale all paid for from his winnings.  The one memory that stands out more than the rest is the date of 5th January 2006 when Benjamin Daniel was born, Dad was so overwhelmed that he was totally speechless (Something that didn't happen very often), Fast forward to 09th November 2010 and his family was complete when Betsy Lola was born, He loved you all and was extremely proud of you all xx  Dad was always tinkering, and have projects on the go, happy to be busy, but just as happy to sit with a book. 

He was highly amused when he first got his Facebook Account, as he thought it extremely funny to ask Ross, Jade, Paige & Max Goman to be his friends, but refused to ask me!! (As you can imagine, I was not very Happy!)  His thoughtfulness shone when my Dad was taken to Hospital, and I was away on holiday, he knew Dad would not have many visitors, so he went to see him xx

I'm told that the Kitchen Renovation was because of me, I used to come straight into the Kitchen and put my bag on the side, which used to annoy him no end.

God Bless Burkey, forever young RIP xxx
