Thinking of you Aunty Elsie and family, in the passing of Uncle Vic. Lots of wonderful memories visiting you on the farm, and before that, travelling up to Wanganui for your wedding. Take care, all our love, Dave and Anilu

To Elsie, Dorothy and families. Very sorry to know that Vic has passed away. Im so sorry I wasnt able to get down to New Plymouth and see him. Our love and thoughts are with you all RIP Cousin Vic

Hi Elsie, Philip, Tracey, Gareth, Angela, Keryn & Matt. Thinking of you today and will be watching the livestream. I remember your wedding. It was so exciting staying in the same motel as the Ashtons and then discovering that they were going to their Uncle's wedding and we were going to our Aunt's wedding and it was the same wedding! So many happy memories on the farm. My favourite memory was watching my Daniel hand in hand with Uncle Vic going off up to get out the tractor for a tractor ride. And the time Vic got the vet to set the calf's leg that was broken when it was born on to the electric fence. He was so kind to his animals and I will always remember that. Thank you for all the happy memories. With all our love Tony and Bev, Stephen, Daniel, Rosemary & Sam, Isaac, Jacob & Louise

Hi Elsie and cousins. We were really sorry to hear of Uncle Vic´s passing away. We are really glad we could see you both last Feburary and that our children could meet him, as we often talk about the great farm holidays we had, and the fact that yours was the first wedding I ever went to. We´ll be thinking of you all especially on Thursday. Love from Brent and Daniela

Dear Aunty Elsie and cousins. So sorry to learn my only uncle has passed away. Many fond memories at the farm in kaponga. Much love to you all Kate (Kathryn) Yetman

Elsie and family, sorry to hear of Vic's passing, i'll always remember the visits to the farm at Kaponga with Mum and Dad when we were kids Mum sends her love

To Elsie and family. I am sorry for your loss of Vic. He knew me all my life and I had some holidays as a child at Kaponga in the 1960s. Whenever I saw him in later years I always felt I was in the presence of a great man. He will now be having many cups of tea with Mrs Rene Morgan his mum and giving her all the news.
