Today, we bid farewell to a truly exceptional individual. Firstly, he was a devoted family man, a cherished friend, and a remarkable colleague. His unwavering commitment to his faith was evident in his interactions with others. The news remains difficult to accept. Our hearts go out to his family, whom he spoke of with such admiration; we can only imagine the emotions they are experiencing during this challenging time. To the Botany Family Store team, the team he served with prior to our stores' transition in 2025, our hearts are with you. He really did love and appreciate all of his customers. He always gave his best to ensure they were looked after to the best of his ability. His dedication to peace and kindness was particularly noteworthy.
Dee, you have fought the good fight.
Rest in peace our dear friend ❤
