Adele Our deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences at this sad time for you and your wider family. Arohanui Terry & Wai
Dear Adele and family I wish to express my sincere condolences to you all, on Chas' passing into his next journey, and remember the great friendship that was born the 1st time we met in Dunedin as incoming Rotary District Governors, and the challenge of the Polio Plus programme set before us then. I also remember the support, huge effort & commraderie that developed, Chas in particular, which included some great hilarity that was priceless. These, I will always remember as a special part of my life. With love Lou (formerly Orbell)
