My friend from Canberra days back in the early 70's and our Mate for so many years since then......an unforgettable guy who was such a big-hearted, caring, lovable giant of a bloke - you will always be remembered for all the happy, laughter-filled, fun-filled shared times and out thoughts go to Gillian and all your family - so sad we can't make it on Monday but we will be with you all in thoughts and love....Bub, Roy and Chelsea Mulcahy

Chips where does one start, the years in Perth working together, the fun times, the odd beer or two and swimming in the base pool. The years in Malaysia, the feeds and pub runs to say the least and the fun times we had. Goodbye old mate, we can ill afford to loose characters like you. Condolences to your families.

"Chips" all the time spent with you at the Caltex Roadhouse will stay fondly in my memories. I have never laughed so much. If you ever needed someone to help, you were there, nothing was ever too much trouble for you and there was never a time when you wouldn't insist on helping out. You certainly left your mark on this earth and we are all better off for having known you. Thoughts are with Gillian and your family at this time. See you on the other side in good time mate xxxx

“Chips” RIP you fought a mighty battle strong until the end. You will always have a special place in my heart. Condolences to Gillian & families x

To Gillian and the Woodyard family our deepest sympathy on the passing of a truly unique man. A life well lived.....curl the mo Chippy. RIP Alex and Noela Lennox
