Haere rā e te rangatira, moe mai rā! A very sharp and wise man… a man of few words, but words worth listening to. Your send-off today was beautiful, especially the image of the “marae in the sky” and the great welcome awaiting. Thank you to everyone who came together to make it such a special farewell, and for making it possible to join via livestream from here in California
