Thinking of you all. What a great man. I’m sure he’s having an extra hot coffee or two with Sir Lunchalot (Geoffrey).
Matt, Lou, Whanau and extended Whanau; Through you all, Frank has left a wonderful and loving legacy, I know he is proud of you all. I wish we could be there, but know that we are thinking of you, and sending our love and thoughts from across the Pacific. Kia Kaha - Trev, Wiki and the tribe!
Thinking of you all at this extremely sad time. Frank was a wonderful man - will never be forgotten for his kindness and help, his tremendous woodworking skills and great personality.
