Tributes

Thankyou to all who attended Dad's service today. He would've been proud to have attracted such a great crowd. On behalf of my family I want to especially thank Kevin and Jim for their kind words. It was lovely for our generation to hear so much about Dad in his prime. A lovely tribute to a special man. x

Andrew Gooch

We have such warm memories of our time with Malc. Sheltering under a manuka tree is just one of them. He was good company! We are so very sorry that he is no longer with us.

Tim and Sue Ulrich

Malc was a lovely man who always enjoyed good company. Forever a true Coaster. We will all miss your cheeky smile and self deprecatory humour. You will be missed mate. Cheers Bruce and the Reid family
