Smoky had the rare ability to make you feel as though you knew him personally. A great innings from a true great Aussie bloke.. Good on ya Smoky!

Smoky you have always been my hero. I have always wanted to meet you and of course have a chat but that never happened. You deserve a State Funeral and a parade in your honour in the Sydney CBD. Why a parade - well it would be chance for us ordinary Aussies to turn out and show our love for this man. A great Australian who should be immortalised in some way.
