We are all saddened by the loss of our Rotorua dada. Found memories of the 'meanest' backyard mini golf with lots of laughter and food. We will always remember him with these fond memories.

We are very sad to hear that Diyal Pua has passed away. We will miss his friendly smile and warm, caring nature. We will always remember all the good times we spent together. Our love and thoughts are with Mani Poi and family.

my thoughts are with Diyal's family. It is my privilege to say how I enjoyed sharing the game of cricket with Diyal. He was the only umpire I never growled at after being no-balled!. Lovely and heartfelt memories of our discussions.

Your cheeky smile and wicked sense of humor will be missed, a gentle man with a big heart ❤️. Your beautiful family are sad, but know you are at peace. Rest in peace now x

I enjoyed our twilight golf Diyal for few years before we both gave it away. Thank you for your friendship and after match chats. You were a true gentlemen. I am sorry for not being able to farewell you tomorrow.

I have known Diyal kaka since I was a kid. he always guided me, be it in my hockey career or in life generally . He gave a lot of his time to helping others, our Rotorua hockey club, the Indian association, when ever there was a wedding he would be there with his truck doing the carring. he gave a lot of himself. we will miss you Diyal Kaka my condolences to your loved ones.

I have known him for the last 43 years through my involvement with sports and indian association business. He had introduced to me in the association and sports executive committee as well as Rotorua cricket association. Due to this I had all the positions from executive members to life member of the bopia. He was quite generous giving donations to any organisations. I will miss him. I offer my deepest condolences to dheda families for the loss and pray to give strength to the family in this difficult times. Om Shanti.peace

A beautiful loyal gentleman. Always enjoyed our chats in the middle and from the boundary. Rest well my friend. Love from the Stewarts

Heartfelt condolences 🙏 to all concerned. He looked after me whilst I was at RBHS - Cricket miles away from the UK. A very proud family man and he never forgot his roots.
