RIP Bud, I will always think of you when I am having a beer in my shed, you were a great father in law more my mate, will miss you. Terry

Poppa, Great pop!

You’re etched in my memories old man.

The travelling, the bus, the shed, those letters. You know I still have them all (some 25 years old!) you know what, I’ve even got the ones you sent my babies!

Combat and bubba! You were never able to write to little Dot Dot, but I’ve got photos from that first meeting and that smile Pop!

Oh the pride and love you had for your great grand babies, your Grandson in-law, my little family left me loving you all the more!

Pop we will miss you! So bloody much! I Promise I’ll keep sending Nan postcards!

We love you!

To my first pair of football boots to the last letter you sent me nothing will ever be forgotten my man, you were the father I didn’t have in my early days and the best Poppa any of us grandkids could have asked for. Sitting in Poppas den was and always will be one of my favourite things to do. Kills me to know Parker James will never meet my hero but once he is old enough he will know the man you were and if I can be half the man Hank Seys was I know I’ll be alright.

“ I don’t stuffin care if you sell a million dollar mansion or a 10c bolt from Bunnings I just want to know my grandson cares about me”

You have know idea how much I care and love you cobba this is truly the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do.

Love ya mate

Well big fella, todays the day… the day our family farewells you forever, Im struggling to accept that you fave left us physically but also empowered to know that your now with us in spirit and in memory, you guided me through the early years with your wisdom, whit, love and generosity, the impression you left on me and the hard working, caring and respectful qualities you have instilled on me will be passed on to your great grandchildren insuring our family morals, values and standards hold up for years to come, Im truly saddened by your passing poppa, would have loved to have sat with you one last time, You’re a stuffen national bloody hero and your legacy will live on!! Love you soooo much mate, RIP Poppa, LEST WE FORGET ❤️

To my Poppa, you were always such a big part of our lives and it makes me so happy to know that you got to be apart of some of my biggest moments, getting to have you at my March out day is something that I will never forget and getting to spend your last Anzac Day together is something that I will remember forever.
I love you mate. Rest In Peace

Dennis, it was a pleasure to call you my brother in law. You will be sadly missed by everyone, that cheeky smile, the two fingered eyebrow salute that I remember as a kid. You will always leave fond memories in the hearts of all who knew you.

D.W Hank Seys
Poppa to say you were a hero or an idol of mine would be an understatement. Growing up you could be a tough man but hiding behind that was the biggest teddy bear. You were definitely at your happiest when we were sitting in the shed having a drink talking about god knows what whether it was what I was doing at work or talking about your army days or even going through the books and books worth of saved letters that all us kids sent you that meant so much to you. Then we would get up In the morning and head into town to buy some bait and go for a fish you with your man purse pink leash and little dog. As far as I can remember we never caught much and I think you spent most of your time re baiting our hooks or re tying on sinkers and hooks after we got our lines snagged or tangled but that didn’t bother you all that you cared about is that you were with your boys

A story that I will always remember is when we were all younger and you took us fishing on Kayden in south Australia. We didn’t have fishing rods we were given hand reels I remember telling you Poppa I’ve got a fish you looked over and said no you don’t after a few minutes I again said Poppa I have a fish again you said no you don’t finally again I said Poppa I think I have a fish finally you came over grabbed my line and told me no you don’t while winding in my line only to find a red fin flapping about on the end. I am pretty sure I was the only person to catch a fish on that boat.

Then 3 years ago I got a call from mum at work asking me to call you because she thought something didn’t seem right so I gave you a call and we had a little chat afterwards I called mum right back and left work and made our way to lakes entrance. When we got there we were devastated to find you had suffered a stroke. The next three years were hard to see my strong independent pop now forced into a home. But still every time I walking in that door and saw you to visit your face lit up like a Christmas tree and you still always pulled me into a big hug. Then after you had finished your Maccas that mum and I smuggled in for you and mum gave you your special coffee with just a tiny little bit of scotch in it. You still always took the time to ask about what I was up to and how work was going. You were always my number one fan mate. You were always there for me and if you could you would always help me out. I really will miss you Cobba more then you will know. I love you mate!

Uncle Hank
Missing you already, you leave a giant hole in the lives of all you touched. Your sense of humour and massive smile. My fondest memories all have you in them.
Love ya cobber
