Pea chips will never be as delicious without you watching me eat them uncle Barry, and the nuts you fed me? macadamias; you never could figure out what they were and i'm sorry but cashews are still my fave. I never did get sick from jumping into the river but my scars from the cuts seem to still be there after all these months, I'll miss your cheeky smile but I know your up in heaven making sure everyone having a bloody good time! Pupsies alright Love from your triplet

Ol' Biscuit-I didn't know you for all that long but grew to know you very quickly at the Golf Club Friday nights and to sample those great relishes and pickles you so expertly made. A huge loss and your humour and ability to drink Lion Red (not Waikato) was legendary! At least now you will give me a chance to win a raffle however you will be sorely missed. RIP Dennis

Biscuit-didn't really know you all that long but from the first time you came to the Urenui Golf Club it was like we had known you all our lives such was the impression you made. You will certainly be missed at the Friday evening gatherings and the delicious yummies you brought especially the home made relishes etc. Go and find that Waikato factory and you'll be back home. Dennis and Evelyn for and on behalf of the Urenui Golf Club.

The beach just won’t be the same without your mid morning visits on the way back to your caravan 🥹 I’m sure the coming days will see a bottle of Waikato or two consumed in your honour but one things for sure it won’t be repeated too often 🤣 It is with a very heavy heart that we have to say farewell to you. You will be missed so much Baz! A man with a big heart who loved a good laugh but hated fuss. May you RIP mate. Love always Jason, Blenda/Mumsy and kids x #8 🏇

Baz, you truely were one of a kind. you were the face that would light up the whole room in an instant. You were the bad santa to my mrs clause 😂 the baddest santa around some would say. The beach isn’t going to be the same without you walking around in your canvas shoes, three quarter pants and half buttoned up shoes with your man boobs hanging out and a dirty waikato in hand. Smelly pussy and I are going to miss you driving the rubbish truck and tootle loo looing along as we go. Thank you for being the light and the laughter in our lives and Baz, your a legend that’ll never be forgotten. Love always, the original Mrs Clause aka Tiana ❤️❤️❤️

Tiana

Such a cheerful soul and a friendly face at the beach camp. I will miss seeing you around with a Waikato in your hand and talking about rugby. You definitely enjoyed having a laugh! Your presence will be missed, rest in love Baz ❤️💞

Tara

Thoughts are with you Ian, Teresa and boys..the beach has lost a legend! While he may not be here, you know he’ll be laughing from up there with a little dance, a bottle in his hand and his beloved 3/4 shorts. Treasure the memories and good times, there’s been so many over the years. Rest in peace Baz you cheeky thing x Sending our love Hayden, Megan, Brooke, Luca and fluff xx

Uncle Baz was a man who had smiles to brighten your days, who always made you feel good with his warm words and laughter. My uncle was someone who always had good stories to tell.He was patient and kind and the very best friend you could ever hope to find. He was no ordinary man Uncle Bazz you are gone, but you will never be forgotten. We may be apart, but your memory will live within me forever And I’m proud to tell the world that Barry Mangin was my uncle. RIP Love David
