RIP mate , hope ur delivering those pizzas like u used to back in the early 2000s.
A man of boundless energy and ever positive β Iβm sure Energy drinks were invented to keep up with you. Remembering those radio days and your passion for the 30 second commercial to promote Shakeleys, and of course Friday night drinks at Energy FM. The Lone Ranger β was a pleasure to know you. Thinking of you and your family at this sad time.
You are going to be missed poppa. Thankyou for always being there. And for all the amazing memories. Sending so much love to your family pop. Rest easy π©·
The last few days ive been flooded with a multitude of memories from NZ Couriers, Western Springs, Meadowbank, West Auckland, Taranaki, Shakeleys, Learner Driver cars, my tiny 1964 multi-coloured Mini, births of our children, time spent with our most special friends, watching our kids grow and change, and I've giggled so often. I've cried a fair bit too, and that's coz I still cared so deeply for you. Your passing will leave a vacant space on many seats, but the memories will always be present in many many hearts. God bless, my first love, father of three incredible people you blessed me with, and my friend. I'm sorry I didn't get to you in time. I'll keep holding you in my heart forever. Xx B
