Neville was a true gentleman. A great workmate at NpTaxis. Always had a smile. Another great person gone. If all people were as kind as Neville the world would be a better place. My thoughts are with you Chris. I woulld of been there at Nevilles funeral but am I little ill, thank you Chris for the live stream. Fanatastic service for a fantastic human being.

Chris, Ward & Family Thinking of you all, I'm sorry I am unable to attend. I will never forget the things he did for me, from picking me up at 3am to teaching me to hunt. His kindness will forever be missed.

To Chris and family We are so sorry we couldnt make it to the funeral - we only found out about it yesterday Neville - thanks for being a great cousin and a role model to us when we were kids - taking us to glen nui was definitely a childhood and adulthood memory I shall cherish You taught us a lot about the bush - camping and hunting - we went all over the north island with you hunting deer goats and pigs - those days were the best I reckon You taking us to Glen Nui will always be a special place in our memories too - in fact the lifestyle block we bought 10 years ago reminds me of glen nui all the time and brings back happy memories even down to the magpies calling - so cool I often tell the kids about your cooking skills - the spaghetti you burnt in the billy - we were usually so hungry so we never complained and the best and worst thing about the cooking was the powdered dehydrated potato - flaked potato Thank goodness Uncle Fred - my dad - started coming and he did the cooking - no offense mate I am sorry but you put me off that flaked potato and spaghetti for life !
