Ive just looked at this morning. My memories from those good old days and we were very young, coming out to youre guys place and Bill and Shirleys the old man getting tipsy driving home late at night in the truck on those old stoney windey roads when sheep ran freely no fences way back then. what a hoot. And we did make it home safely.

Our deepest condolences to the Candy whanau. Croc was not only a loyal and trusted client for over 30 years, but also a terrific friend. Thanks for the interesting stories and yarns, and the varied repair projects completed together. Hope the hills are flatter, the deer bigger and the rum stronger Croc.
