Robbie Heritage

Bridget VALLENCE (Evelyn) (10:10): Robbie Heritage was a legend in our community, a wonderful character, generous, caring, a great sense of humour. Robbie was well known and respected right across the Yarra Valley. I wish to pay tribute to Robert Frank Heritage, who passed away peacefully in late September aged 83. The love our community had for this man was demonstrated by over 2500 locals attending his funeral at Heritage Pioneers Chapel in Woori Yallock, Robbie’s family business.

Robbie was a dedicated and loving family man and extremely passionate about the family’s funeral services business, Heritage & Heritage Funerals. It was so important to Robbie that Heritage & Heritage Funerals was an independent family owned and operated funeral services business, with families at the heart of what they did. Robbie was deeply committed to caring for families at their most vulnerable times, helping them through their grief, offering compassion and support, and he was often seen up the back of the chapel to make sure each service was a beautiful life celebration. Robbie will be fondly remembered by the Yarra Valley community. My deepest condolences to Robbie’s wife Elaine, daughters Sandra and Janette, son Gavin and the entire Heritage family. Vale, Robbie Heritage.
