Thanks Pete for 18 years of friendship. We enjoyed the company, the laughs and the horse racing highs and lows over those years. You were a kind and compassionate friend and will be sadly missed but thought of fondly and often. Laurie and Dorothy
He really was a GREAT Grandfather. Knowledgeable, charismatic, funny right until the last, and devoted to his family. Staying with you and Grandma and the whole family at the motel in Mount Maunganui are some of my fondest childhood memories. Grandad, you are sorely missed, even from afar. You truely are. With all of our love, right from the bottom of our hearts. Jasper, Elissa, Elayna, Julia, and Kristian.
