    I’m shattered for you all, sending deepest sympathies and love to all the family.
    Greg was and always will be the true definition and epitome of ‘champion bloke’ – he was friendly, endearing, selfless (always helping other first), funny, charming, gravitating, accommodating, mate, friend, good company, great drinker and always fun and enjoyable to be around – I will sorely miss your presence around SNIGS!
    RIP mate – have some cold ones for me up there!

  • Laurelle and Josh Wells Posted 22/10/2020 8:27 am

  • Diane Brasher Posted 23/10/2020 9:02 am

    If only we could turn back the hands of time and to a place in time that you were well and freeze life right there.! But the unfairness of life has stolen you for us. You touched everyone who had the pleasure of meeting you Greg – what a gift you had! If only the world could have more people like you – but as I said “There will never be another Greg Barrett that will walk amongst us”. You have left us with an abundance of truly incredible memories, and for that I’m so grateful. The sibling link is now broken and in another time and place we will reconnect. Thank you for being my all – my brother, friend, protector, confidant and counsel. That spot that you hold in my heart will be yours forever.
    Keep smiling and singing Greg xo Sincere condolences to Bernie, Tammie, Daniel, Bec, Harrison & Dannica and to the many people who were his extended family (The White family) and his enormous circle of friends..
    Forever in our hearts
    RIP Greg
    Your loving Sister xoxoxoxoxoxo

  • Gerard, Leonie and Becky Posted 23/10/2020 1:16 pm

    Remembering fondly all our family functions and the great times we all shared! Luv to Bernie, Tammie, Daniel and families x

  • Philip Robertson Posted 30/12/2020 5:43 am

    Just watched the service again and reflected on what a ripper bloke Greg was and how much he will be missed.
