Tama was a dear friend and a really good guy! He was toastmaster at our wedding. We had lots of happy times over the years. Tama was a valued and respected member of the Taupiri Rugby club, he played and coached (those were the days) through the 80’s and will be remembered for his contribution and friendship. Sending all our love to his whanau. Sincere regards Paul & Janene Harris
