Tributes

Quentin was the best father in law (and father out law) one could wish for. We'd have adult conversations, he'd listen, and talk, and take you seriously and in this way I think I had a better relationship with him than I had with my natural parents. Acceptance, and quiet support. I adored him greatly. Quentin, you will not be forgotten!

Thinking of you all at this sad time. Always enjoyed talking to Quentin with his sound ideas. We have such fond memories of spending time at his wonderfully rustic bach at Karekare. Best wishes and condolences from the Collard Clan.
