Thank you for the lovely service we were able to watch in real time from Australia. Pop was a special Grandfather we will miss dearly but are grateful for all the fond memories and laughs he gave us which will be with us a lifetime. All our love and strength to our NZ family during this time. Lots of love to Nana and Pop now reunited. Sheree and family xox
Tom's beautiful soul will not be forgotten. RIP uncle Tom. Love to family From Pauline & Geoff & Family xx
We are sorry we cannot be there in person today but please know we are thinking of everyone and sending our love from across the ditch. Pop you were a big part of my life and I have many fond memories of us together whislt growing up. My fondest memory was when I made you and Dad scones whilst dad was reparing your combi! You were keen to try one as they smelt so good and when you ate it you couldn't understand why it smelt so good but tasted so bloody terrible! unbeknown to me I had made them with cornflour instead of self raising flour! But you ate it regardless to not hurt my feelings. I wish I could have been able to see you more in the last 10 years unfortunately just never able to get back to new Zealand. I know you understood and knew how much I loved you. You will be so missed pop but I know you are happy to be with nanna again. Love Dean
