Was really sorry to hear

Was really sorry to hear the news about Sam’s passing and my thoughts go out to you all especially your family which was such a tight unit in my experience. I’m from Sam’s distant past and had the good and bad fortune of celebrating end of year 1990 from Uni at the Croajingalong NP with Sam, family and friends. The magnificent stop at the farm but then flying off the front of Charlie’s ute in the middle of nowhere to come back to consciousness with half the skin missing from my face and a badly broken hand. We still managed to spend the 3 nights camping anyway after it was agreed we wouldn’t let a meer flesh wound ruin a good weekend! I mention this story as it was one of multiple really memorable and unique experiences with Sam like skiing from the top of Thedbo to Dead Horse Gap. As it happens the repair on my hand has now failed and everyday it reminds of that trip. It’s been a long time since Charlie left us but those two lads I hope are hanging together looking down on you all.
