For 38 years, Dad was a faithful employee of the Sydney Steel

Bar; daughters, Debbie, at home and Wendy, Point Edward;
grandchildren, Jennifer, Stephanie (Jonas Cramm), Matthew, Shauna and
Tyson Hill and Arianna and Megan Smith; seven great-grandchildren; and

(Ferguson), two sons in infancy; son-in-law, Neil Smith; brothers,
Harry Hill, James “Jim” Neal, Calvin “Buck” Neal,
Glenmore Neal, Eddie Morrison and Alex “Buster” Morrison and

There will be no visitation. A funeral service will be held
at Sydney Memorial Chapel on Wednesday, April 3 at 11 a.m., with Mr.
