Arohanui to you Carole ,your children and mokopuna at this sad time . This was such a lovely service for Martin and I'm grateful I could attend through the Live. Martin was a wonderful, kind and hard as working man. A great neighbour, friend and Bowling mate to Mum and Dad. Martin use to have Happy Birthday greetings on a blackboard outside the 4 Square, it was on my birthday that I found out there were 3 others in Toko who shared my birthdate. I had never come across 1 person born on my birthdate , I was in my 20's. I have never forgotten that birthday pressy Martin. Lots of memories and I should have bought that business -cleaning keg beer lines..lols. Moe mai rā e te rangatira e Martin.
To Carol, Sorry to hear about Martin at this sad time. Condolences to you and your family. June and John June 0284195343
