Dearly loved husband of Maryann. Loved father of Sarena, Traci, Jessica and Marni, and loved grandfather of his many mokopuna.

Louis is currently lying in state at home in Ahipara, Gumfields. With the Mangamuka Marae being officially closed, we have accepted the kind offer to take Dad to Roma Marae, Ahipara, on Sunday 1st October, by approximately 4pm.

The funeral service will be held on Monday 2nd October, 10am at Roma Marae followed by a burial at Mangamuka Urupa, then back to Roma Marae for Hakere, where everyone is welcome to join the whanau for lunch. If you could RSVP asap to the whanau for catering purposes.

Absent from the body, present with the Lord.
