Lots of love and condolences to Rowan, Tamra and families at the loss of your dad. My ‘Bennett boy’ cousins have a special place in my life as our families spent lots of wonderful times together in our younger days. I did try to ring dad on occasions last year but he must have changed his phone number. Love Faye Anderson, Victor Harbor

Neighbour and mate of Bill at Macorna for many years. Lots of talks in the paddocks about cattle prices, weather, footy etc. A special memory of a very windy, local grand final day, in 2003. Rob took Bill and Bruce on a sightseeing flight over the town, Macorna and Mead districts.( 3 weeks before Bill died) Later times Bruce would tell me he’s been to check on the farm and how Rob was doing a good job. Thanks Bruce. R I P. Our love and sympathy to Rohan,Suzie,Tamra and family. Betty, Rob, Krystal, Kirsty and family.
Deepest sympathies to Bruce’s family. He made such an amazing difference to us in the 2011 floods giving us insight into the area where we live and helping us save our home. We had never met Bruce before and he was tireless in his help in managing the levies put up around our house until the early hours of the morning. Forever grateful to this man. May he RIP
