Hey Carol and family, sorry I did not manage to see the funeral the time difference got me and I am 5 hours behind (Perth Western Australia). However I am sure the send off for Tom was one that would have suited the man he was. As a boss he was fantastic and even though I only had 2 years at the Rotorua Court with him, those years are well remembered and set me up for who I am today. Including being dragged into the office with my side kick Trish Horne after some antics we had got up too. Sending a big hug and deep condolences to you and the family Leonie McCallum xo Rotorua High / District Court 1986-1987 (I think it was a long time ago and the brain cells do fade LOL)

Dear Carol and family, what a wonderful tribute and send off for a truly remarkable, humble and loved man. Sending my love and deep condolences to you from Perth, Western Australia. Deb or Debbie as I was called from day 1 working in the Rotorua Court x

E te rangatira, Mr McGrory, moe mai ra i to moengaroa. Haere ki Hawaiiki nui, Hawaiiki roa, Hawaiiki pamamao. Moe mai, moe mai, moe mai ra. To Carol,Deb, Leanne and Mike and all your moko's, our deepest aroha to you all. Mr McGrory was a great man and the best Boss ever. Firm but understanding, strong but gentle, funny but so wise. We watched his service from Brasil and I want to thank you for allowing it to be live streamed so we could watch. Thank you for sharing Mr McGrory with us over the years at the courthouse. He rangatira, he taonga, he tane purotu. All our aroha xxx
