Hi everyone. If you're reading this you may know that the wonderful man that is Walter Gregory Savin (Darling, Dad, Wally, Fantom, Fish, The Mayor of Jerseyville, Black Crab) has passed away after heart complications following a stroke. 

It has been painful beyond any words. 

His funeral is this Friday the 3rd of November 10 am at Pettigrews Wallsend, we invite anyone who wishes to celebrate his life to join us ❤️ 

An Awabakal man from Newcastle and Dunghutti man in Jerseyville, he has many great stories.

We have set up this fund to manage the reality of costs of a funeral, transport, and care in death. 

If you know him, you might know Wally wasn't a planner! He lived life like there was always a tomorrow. 

Which is a lovely way to look at life, but not in death.

We have a lot to organise, manage, and sort out, all while we greive, and work out what life looks like and how everything will work moving forward.

You can also support by sharing this page. Anything and everything is appreciated more than words we can say. 

In saying that, we have set a goal to help cover the expenses that we otherwise cannot afford. 

If the goal is exceeded, mum, Annie Savin, has asked for every cent over to go to the Australian Heart Foundation. If you'd like to know the great work they do visit https://www.heartfoundation.org.au/ 

The foundation is amazing and does a lot of good work from research, education, to practical help. 

If you have any questions, or just want to pass on a message, please feel free to message the page. Or his obituary at

This goes for any memories or funny stories you'd like to share, we'd absolutely love to know your memories of him. Let's celebrate the ratbag that was Wal! 

If you need someone to talk to, Lifeline and Beyond Blue are great.

Hug those people in your life and tell them what they mean to you. 

With love, 

Our Family.
