To Laurel and all the family, thinking of you as you farewell a special man Tommy. My parents Bryce & Norvaleen held him in high esteem. When I think of him the strongest memory is of him taking a service in Manaia, must have been just after Christmas when I sang a descant in Oh come all yea faithful, instead of continuing with the next thing he decided that we should repeat that verse . A lovely man always with a smile. Margaret Hunt
