Hey Jack, Thank you for looking after our tamariki on bus 12. You have been there for them for 12 years… always interested in what they were doing and what their dreams are . Thank you for your special pounamus for them and guidance over the years. I will miss you, my special friend …. our breakfasts at Chocolate Brown, our phone calls and our coffees at my place . I remember that after you had a fall , and we went to hospital , you said that your brother had been calling you , and you said it wasn’t time. I’d like you think that he was calling you again in your chair and fireman’s jacket , and that you were at peace that it was time… Everytine I go to Te Muri , I will say hi … Love you heaps … may your spirit soar high and enjoy horse riding with your siblings again ….
