Tributes

What a truly beautiful service for a truly amazing man who touched the lives of everyone who was lucky enough to have known him. Uncle Fox. My tears are flowing, my heart has broken. I am so sorry- We took too long to visit again before it was your time to go. Nyla and Reif were yet to meet you but they will always know who you are. My favourite memory is you gifting Brydee and I a hairdryer each for Christmas one year we came home. The grown ups all laughed, but I was CHUFFED. Best Present EVER! I will always remember your big bear hugs and welcome greeting, “How are you, Cindy Loo?” You are always in my heart. RIP Uncle Fox. Sending lots of love to all the family, from Cinda, Leigh, Nyla and Reif xo

How do I say goodbye ! Always thought it would be you saying goodbye to me , but it wasn't meant to be. Your phone calls..visits..never empty handed will so miss and the hand rail which helped me so much. Until we meet again Fox Rest in peace Dawie

We first met Bruce as the welcoming Father in law , when our son Phil married Shanell and moved to New Zealand. Living in the UK we have visited frequently, but it is a great sadness to us that knowing him so long our paths passed too little, due to his hard working nature. Yet, he was always a presence. At any time, one of his family, Donna, his girls, the grandchildren would be talking of what he was doing, where he was, and we just knew how well loved he was, and how mch he loved and cared for his family. He will truly be missed, not only by his New Zealand family but by our family in the UK.
