You are one of my most favorite people that I have ever met. You were always up for a laugh, and you would always give me a hard time about anything and everything I did. I can never thank you enough for what you have done for me in the time that i knew you, and I'm so sorry that I didn't get to see you one last time. I'll never forget you, Pa.

Even though we can't be at the tangi on Friday Deidre, Brian, Kimberly, Teddy, Annette and your whanau we are with you in spirit. We send our aroha and strength that you all come together and celebrate the life of your father, grandfather and great grandfather. Look forward to sharing your stories and thoughts when you return to Wairoa over a cuppa and cake. Take care and spend the special moments you have with each other in love and light. WCC & SHB
