Tributes

Sorry I couldn't be there. Time is something I can't say we spent much off but but bloodlines are undeniable. Regrets are mostly futile but understanding how you got to be here are incredibly strong. Lots of love to my Lukis whanau. I may not carry the name but am so proud to be one and hope to not be a stranger in the future. Rest easy Uncle Roly. 💛

Jason Horne

Many, many very fond memories of growing up together, playing together and working together for a number of years. We enjoyed many years as members of a happy, loving family. It was great I was able to spend a little time with Roly before he left us. He will be sadly missed ...
