So saddened to hear the passing of a top bloke.
Your daily jokes, quirkiness, yearly santa performances and honesty will be dearly missed. So many memories we will cherish forever. Shattered I never got to see the blue room (Kylie).
Sending our sincere condolences to the Doecke family during this difficult time.
RIP Doekes x
