Karen and family Willy was a fun guy plenty of laughs , just a happy guy .....we will miss his laughter Our thoughts with you and your family Dorothy & Mike
We first met Bryan waaaay back when Karen first started going with him. We attended their wedding a few years later. Young, beautiful, fit and adventurous - they made a great pair then, as they did til a few days ago. We caught up with them most years when we visited New Plymouth and called in to see them - and enjoyed their hospitality. Karen has lost a wonderful partner, friend handyman and husband. Melissa and Reagan have lost a great Dad. We feel their loss, and hope they feel our love and support as they head into the future without Bryan. Tony and Gabrielle

Bryan, we will miss you so much. You were such a lovely man, always smiling and laughing, always helping people and a real pleasure to be around. You are now flying high and out of pain. As you look down upon us, I hope you see all the people missing you whose lives are better for having known you. To Karen and all the family, it's hard to lose such a wonderful man, but please know........ life’s sweetness will return, it will just take time xxxxx
