To Heather who I especially new and to all your family. A sad time for you for a great man. My memory of Doug from Petrocorp days was such a bundle of fun and humour. I will never forget months after my interview as Receptionist which I managed to get, he said it was the split at the back of your dress that interested me!! Oh boy we did have many a day of laughter. RIP Doug. You had an amazing life. Xx
So sorry to read about your dad Heather ...Our thoughts are with you all in this sad time. Sending our love to you and Bruce and your family.. Sharon and Allan Krutz
A workmate from our Petrocorp days who became a dear friend to my family. We visited you and Mary up in Northland and Hastings, and more recently caught up with you back in Tukapa Street. We had some wonderful adventures when we worked together that I will never forget. Frequent letters and cards were sent between New Plymouth and Melbourne as we kept in touch and you filled us in on your travels. Our thoughts are with Heather, Gail, Lee and families. RIP dear friend.
