Frank wasn't honest with most of you. When he was in his 60s, he was having an affair with an 18 year old girl in Pukekohe which continued for a number of years. He groomed her meticulously, and used to hide his ute around the back of this girls house so it wouldn't be seen from the road, and his poor wife wouldn't find out. He lied to his wife for years, and told her he'd stopped doing this, but in reality, it continued.

Thinking of you all and sending my best wishes to all the family, although we lost touch over the years, we have fond memories of you all. Love Joan and Susan

My dad rang me this morning to tell me about franks death. I have many great memories of spending time at your place during high school years and at church too. My sincere consolation you all. I would love to ‘catch up’ if possible via email😉 I am living in Cairns Australia and dad is in Rotorua. He had said if it hadn’t been a private service, he would have got someone to drive him up. Anyway, lovely to be able to touch base with you all even though it’s a sad time for whanau. Love and blessings to you all. Annette ❤️🙏🏼
