Well "Big Deno" news of your passing came as a huge shock & from an unexpected source....! There are many memories of Osteopathic College in Himatangi Beach where l recall we had our first introduction. We teamed up with Paul Hume to deal with difficult internal matters of our Osteopathic Association & then for 3+ years on the Inaugural Osteopathic Council doing our best to protect as many NZ Osteopaths with registering every eligible Osteo nationwide. You even researched a grade for NZ Osteopaths from the NZQA, who stated our qualifications were as good, if not better than a Bachelors Degree standard, which 'floored' the NZRO President at the time. The enjoyment we had at Naturopathic & Osteopathic Conferences with nights out from Tauhara as we frequented the "Hare & Trout" nearby in Taupo. Snow skiing at Mt Hutt & Mt Ruapehu before the Conferences will always have great memories of our collegial friendship. Your unique design of the 'world famous' "Real Deal Hurt Cremè" which is still being distributed through "Vital Health". The genuine Kiwi bloke, hunting, fishing, motorbiking, caravan adventuring who was well known for describing everything as "beeeaaauuttiiffuull mate"! You will always be a legend in my mind, my friend, and on your final spiritual journey our blessings go with you. Rest in Peace our special friend.

Many blessings on your final journey Denno. We spent many delightful hours together at osteopathic conferences and on ski fields in the north and south Islands. Happy memories seeing you at Paeroa Battle of the Streets on our motorbikes.

Thinking of you all today as you say goodbye to your dear Dad. Rod & Liz Xx

Thoughts are with the Stewart family during this time. Since I heard, I have had so many memories and times spent with Denny, from Wanganui and Christchurch days RIP old fulla, will miss you

Firstly we were neighbors, then friends, who shared many wonderful caravaning camping holidays. Your knowledge, wisdom ,cooking and humour plus endless stories of your life-long experiences, enriched our time with you. We also shared a passion for music. Everything you did was a testament to a life well lived. We will miss you greatly Deano Martino my friend. Rest in Peace.

Donna & Darren - I had not realised you were brother & sister but I do remember conversations we had and how much you did honour your father. I am sad to hear of his passing but your tributes to him do show your loving respect for him and, though this is a sad time, to have those memories is what helps get you through the loss and bring a smile to your faces. Arohanui, Jeni
