Si, I cant believe you're gone. I keep picking up the phone to call you or see a funny cat video to send you. Yet another adored man in my life has had to depart way to early from this life. I will miss our face pulling, our silly voices trying to trick each other, I will miss your hugs and humour. You are loved by all my kids and they will miss you immensely too. Love you always my brother. I will keep watch over your beautiful girls xxx

I’m so sorry to hear that your dad has passed away. He was a. Excellent friend and neighbor. I only found out Saturday and was so upset I didn’t get to say goodbye

My visits to Stratford were great, spending time with you and Michaela was always a highlight. I have missed the hello darlin' calls. You will be missed forever. Cancer has no regard or respect but you fought it with dignity My love always little brother Julie xx

Simon We lost touch over the years with the distance apart between Australia and New Zealand. Seeing you a couple of weeks ago and being able to talk to you was great. Losing you so soon to cancer is shit. You will be sadly missed by many friends and your family. RIP brother xx

RIP Simon my friend I will miss seeing you around and our chats about classic cars, I imagine you in a better place now in your favorite classic car, cruising with the pedal to the metal. My heart goes out to your Family in these sad times, farewell for now my friend.

Very sad to see that you have left us to soon Simon you will be dearly missed in our workshop (Advanced Automotive) , we arrived in Hawera 8years ago and made us feel very welcome in a new town, we first met you when you were working for BNT and when you moved over to Appco we followed you because of your loving nature you had towards us Simon and the good sense of humour that always made us laugh. Me and bubbles as you would call Jason will miss you so much. Rest in peace xxx My heart goes out to Michaela, Jess and Parker you are in our thoughts xxx
