McLACHLAN, Jon Stanley. Cherished youngest brother of Carol and the late Richard. Forever loved and respected Uncle Jonny Boy to Dale and Murray, Sandra and Drew, Kim and Col, Nicky and Karl. Great Uncle to Josh, Ben, Adam, Emily, Brooke, Jarrad, Riley and Kennedy. What we'd give to hear your stories, your views of the world (particularly rugby) and how you'd save it, just one more time. Know we'll celebrate, treasure and honour how much you meant to us the McLachlan way, with a beer, wine, song while reminiscing all the many tall tales we grew up with. Say Hi to Dad, Steve, Wyn and Arthur and like you, we'll "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life".
