Cherished brother of Bronwyn MacRitchie.

Loved grandfather of 9 Grandchildren.

Friend of Trish.

Thank-you to all the staff at Bendigo Hospice and Bupa Bendigo, your care and compassion is unwavering. 

A brave heart at rest.

In our hearts love remains, a father’s heart a bond unbroken,

though time has called him far away, a cherished soul free from pain.

You fought so hard to stay just a while, but we know you are now free.

We will hold our memories close and all you taught us even closer.

Rest in peace dad, you will be deeply missed and loved forever.

Allison and Lincoln, Steph, Drew, Blake, Coby and Lane.

The Road goes on forever but the party never ends.

I will forever be proud to call you my Dad.
You taught me so much, both directly and indirectly.
How you would show us how to have fun is how I hope to raise my kids.

Your Grandkids know that Pa is now up in the stars and that you will live on inside each of them.
Love Kirsty, Lydia, Beau and your son David.
You can take it easy now, cheerio Dad. 

Dad I will never forget all the memories we made with you,

yabbies in the dam, adventures in the ute and the day you walked me down the aisle.

James and Avah were so lucky to have a Papa like you and will miss saying

"Papa lets go for a drive" 

You were everything a dad should be, you were brave and tough till the very end.

I will love you forever and will never forget you.

Love you Dad. 

Theresa (Tezzie) and Dwayne, James and Avah.

DAD I’m going to miss our chats, I’m also going to miss watching the Bathurst car race with you and cheering on the fords.

The hill was just to steep for you to climb. 

Love you Dad

Your loving son Mick
