My Stevie Wonder,
It comes with heartfelt sadness to hear of you passing. We knew each other for 42 years many laughs, many oysters & prawns & lots of blood sweat & tears but that was our glue.

I miss your voice & naughtiness.

Happy Fishing Mate, get me a black fish.
Will take the good of you with me in this world.

Love you forever, Teenie Weenie Ballerineeeee
