A Heart felt message from Karly Jewell to her ‘Dad’.
My Dad
As most of you know I grew up with my grandparents; they were my mum and dad to me, from day one and that’s what I called them always and I was a proud daughter.
This morning at 4am TJ, my dad, and my only hero, hung his guitar up for the last time.
I’m beyond broken. My whole world is empty without you Dad.
I felt a river flowing from my heart that I will one day learn to hold back but for now I can’t do that.
I did not wish to write anything but I have received beautiful messages from friends, and our family friends, sharing memories and sending love.
I just couldn’t bring myself to see these words written.
I do thank you all for your love and support.
Mars is taking me home to Dads; to our family home, as I need to be there to feel close to him and when I can I will hold him one last time to tell him I love him – I’ll love him forever and I know we will find each other in our next journey.
My father, my life teacher, my inspiration, my everything and my heart.
I can’t talk to anyone and won’t be taking calls as you will all understand I need some time.
I do thank you for your all your support and caring in this time of need.
Dad I don’t know many girls that could do this, but as I make my way home to you, I’m proud to say, as I look out beyond these tears, I can just about name every tree along the way because you’d teach me every tree you had ever painted and could always see the beauty in them and so do I Dad .
I was proud to be the daughter of a real hero, the greatest father the greatest person I knew.
From BJ & Dollie:

Some of the many messages from friends:
He’d show the young blokes, how a Bushmans earns his pay
In years to come, they might look back, and history might reveal
That men who loved as good as Tone, where made from decent steal”
Paul Wynne is with Sandy Benson at Pinelodge Prospect.
It’s a very sad day today! I have been advised by Maurie Whitton that our Classmate from 137 of 1973, Tony Jewell passed away at approximately 4am this morning. Tony was a unique individual. He was sworn in on the Friday before our Monday Attestation Parade as he turned 35 on the Sunday. In those years you had to be under 35. I believe he was also a member of the 1st/19th Bushman Rifles. He served the NSW Police Force in country locations for about 30 years. He was an accomplished poet and musician who wrote for Slim Dusty who recorded his numbers.
I, like all who knew him, will miss him.
R.I.P. Brother.
