Kia ora Uncle Richard, sad news to hear. It was difficult to see whanau on livestream, but did see Uncle Roy and Aunty Julie. Mum's anniversary is the 30th November. As a whanau we really should be more in touch, be present in each others lives, and continue to live the Scadden legacy. My e mail is marinaparata40@gmail.com please reach out. Whanau it's a digital world there are few barriers, so my challenge to us all is to stay in touch, be interested in each others lives and make memories

Saddened to hear of Dicks passing. Was lovely to see him and his dog call in to the Ngakawau store whenever i did cleaning there. A well known local. Rest easy as you now reunite with your lovely wife Sue. RIP Dick.
