On behalf of myself & my brother, James (grandsons of Lotsie) and our Dad, Michael (a son of Lotsie), I want to extend our immense gratitude & appreciation to the Vargas (& friends) for the warm welcome & generous hospitality during a time of great sadness following Lotsie's passing. It was overhwelmingly meaningul to meet everyone, hear & learn more of Lotsie's amazing story and join in paying our respects. Life is complicated and we could only know him from afar, but we owe our existence to him and are eternally grateful for this gift. Much love and many thanks to all.

Condolences to Barbara,Tony and family. When I was 13 years old and had just shifted to New Plymouth,Lotsie was 23 and he along with Attila, Johnny and Lotsie Poliansky of the Moturoa Soccer team were superheroes to me. Sad that the affable athletic man with the film star looks is gone.Love and best wishes. Donald and Helena.
