Hey Uncle I can’t believe you aren’t with not more. Know that you will always be in my heart. I know we aren’t meant to have favourite Uncle’s and Aunties. But you are one of my favourites. I always enjoyed catching up with you when you came home to see you. Dad always caught me up with what you where getting up too. One of my best memories of you where when you and Dad and Uncle Graham where sitting on the sofa at Dad’s place doing the Al Bundy…. Hands down ya pants, you where all doing it at the same time like it was normal. I love you Uncle and I’ll miss you forever. Say hello to Nana, Pop, Uncle Gerald,. And give Chinnook the Dog and Nat the Cat heaps of pats for me. Till we meet again. I love you. Aroha Holly xx

I can't remember if Paul and I were at St Joseph's primary together, only our time at Francis Douglas and afterwards. Two state house boys. A couple of good memories from lots In my last year at school I had a delivery job at Westown Pharmacy. On Friday nights when I finished at 7pm Paul and Jim Hickey would pick me up outside in Mr Hickey's Humber Super Snipe, and we would head off to do wheelies in the gravel at the bottom of Omata Road. Then at VUW Paul and I went through a period where we would go down most days and play pool at the St George billiards saloon. He was the better player! We were there one day when there was a terrifying earthquake. We lost contact as you do when he was in Auckland and I was in Wellington and we would catch up at things like school reunions or chance meetings in NP. Whenever it happened we were always glad to meet up with each other, and Paul got us back on track when he phoned me out of the blue and said we needed to talk from time to time. All of my memories of Paul are that he was a good friend who did not change over the years. I will miss him and cherish his memory. Brian Boyer

I will always remember our family trips to Goat Island (Marine Reserve) where you introduced us to an amazing underwater world. My love of snorkelling continues to this day. As a young kid, Paul was a great Uncle…funny, engaging, and most of all fun! Love to Mary, Catherine, Jane and your extended families.

Hey Pork Chop. What a Life what a Legend. The times we shared were some of the best. Our shared love of Golf, Horses and The Punt was Fantastic. Hit em long hit em straight and give Old St Peter hell.

There must have been something in the water down around Omata Road that we didn't have on Wrantage Street in Westown, that's the only possible explanation for the famous attitude and spirit of the Mora boys. They were tough, they stood together and they were fearless. Paul was a Mora boy through and through, and because I had the great blessing to count him as a friend for most of my 73 years, when I think of him, “Pork Chop,” aka “PBJ” aka “Cyril” I can’t help it, even now, I just start to laugh all over again. He had many great qualities, but for me, his natural born sense of fun is what I treasured the most. I called him just a couple of months ago. He found it hilarious that I was coaching a local rugby team. “Winter,” he said, “you could BS your way into anything!” “Cyril,” I asked him, “after all those years playing the game, let me ask you, what’s the best advice I could give my centers?” Long silence. I thought he might have receded again, maybe lost track of the conversation. But, no. “Oh, tell them to hit the buggers hard,” he said. “That’s it.” Then came that laugh. “Hit the buggers hard.” If you ask me, that’s how Cyril lived his life. He hit it hard. As a kid, he was always up against it. But he never buckled. He always stood up to the challenge, always faced straight up the travails that life will throw your way, always laughed at trouble. I admired him so much for that. I loved him, and I will miss him for the rest of my life.
