Slight edit to the post, Boon- Hope Valley FC.
My relationship with him was purely through the HVFC, but I haven't come across someone with a bigger personality and heart than big Bazza. Loved his heavy metal, loved his Adelaide Crows, loved his Bays, and above all of that, adored his beloved Hope Valley Demons.
His "baby" in the Super C grade haven't played a home game since his sudden passing. It will be an odd feeling running out onto Hope Valley oval on Saturday and not hearing calls of "ya bloody pinorkle" bellowed at opposition players (and sometimes fellow HV players) from underneath the scoreboard.
I can't comment on his musical talents, but Electric Funeral from all reports had a great following, and their shows were thoroughly enjoyed wherever they played. Bazza always willing to put on a performance whenever the club needed a band for a fundraiser, or when someone was just looking for an excuse for a house party!
The man certainly lived life to the fullest. Was loved and will be missed by many.
RIP Baz.
