My memories of Uncle Bill are of that same kind, gentle and hard working man that the family so beautify shared about. Mum (Joyce) just adored him and spoke of him often in the weeks before she passed. They are together now, probably on a boat fishing somewhere.

My love goes out to Auntie Val, Mark, Beth, Ross and Jill and families. We lost Mum just a few months ago too and she and Bill are now together agai. Mum loved all her siblings and although I have been away all these years I remember my childhood times with Uncle Bill and Auntie Val. I think Mum and Bill’s tough childhood made a band and patience they both had. Jenai and I will be coming to NZ to spread Mum and Dad’s ashes, and can’t wait to reconnect with my cousins and to meet my second and third cousins. Listening to the service bought back memories of Uncle Bill I had forgotten about, he was a lovely man and his spirit will always be with the family. Love, Georgie ❤️❤️❤️
