We had a sad funeral today, but the group of family and friends attending were one recognising the warmth and depth Reese bought to worlds. Thank you all for attending and sharing so openly our love for Reese. A touchstone in my life forever. Love Dave. (brother)

Farewell Reese. I remember well our days away on Jeanne sailing in the Bay Of Islands each year. Carefree days with Steven, David, you and I. We all know people who are struggling. For those of us left remember. We must give these people ‘JUST ONE REASON’ to stay. You will be missed cousin.

We got to you know as we lived next door to your Mum and Dad. You were a quiet gentle soul who loved to visit us and you liked nothing better than talking "all things boats" with Bruce. I will miss your annual Xmas email. You are at peace now. Robyn Robertson

You were a quiet and gentle man A talented carpenter, who built so many things. We hope there is a heaven, & you will find peace there. With love Susan & Mitch
