MAREE, Eugene Henry. Passed away suddenly 29 Nov 2005. You left so very suddenly and long before we knew, You'd sped off on your journey in search of pastures new. There was no time for sad goodbyes - it happened in a blink, You hardly gave us time to talk nor for our minds to think, of just how much your meant to us and how we had been blessed, by having someone in our midst far better than the rest. Your life was spent in giving - you put all others first, And when you walked into a room a ray of sunshine burst. You lived a very simple life - asked for little of your own, and through all your pain and suffering we seldom heard you moan. We'll remember your great kindness and your love of all about you. You're going to be sadly missed - life won't be the same without you. So hasten on "Kort Outjie" the "Foreman's" calling from above, And know we'll be right at your side to pave your path with love. "Kort Outjie" was my Dad's pet name for Eugene but he pronounced it KOR-TOE-KEY and Eugene's for my dad was "The Foreman". This little verse is to make up for not putting the usual death notices in the paper - we completely forgot - and to thank you all for your kindness, messages of sympathy, cards and flowers and, most of all for your support at the funeral. Sincere thanks also to Dr. Stern and the paramedics and doctors and staff in the Trauma and High Care Units at Greenacres Hospital who fought so hard for his life. Rev. George Irvine and the staff and organist at First Avenue Walmer Funeral Parlour are thanked for the tender way in which the funeral service was conducted. With heartfelt thanks - Lorraine, Lindy, Glen and Jackie, Greg, Craig, Cara and Amber and all members of both families.
