Andrew’s daughter (Rebecca) and her family would like to express their sincere appreciation for the messages of sympathy that have been received, in recent days, from Julie George, on behalf of the Yallourn Association and also from Andrew’s former friends from Yallourn. Thank you for your kind thoughts.
