Such a shock. Taken too soon. Knew Mort first as a neighbour, band member and later great workmate for 12yrs. My kids remember Mort as Santa at Bradley Panelbeater’s xmas party accompanied with fire engine and as Bob the Builder when he turned up at our son’s 3rd birthday party with his bedford. He could put his mind and hand to anything. Such a talented and gentle man. Our condolences to you Donna, Claire, Adrienne and Anita. RIP Mort. Your friend and mate Jill Foster (Hughes)
