I started working with Roosevelt when he was 40 yrs old until his retirement. We have ran into each other numerous times since retirement to swap old time tales we had at Mulcoa.
We both loved good food and ate many steaks together over the years.
He was my long time friend and one of my mentors over the years. I will truly miss him.
My condolences to his family and work friends.
