I was sad to read of "Mr Coop's" passing and send my condolences to you all. I have so many memories of the Coop family and the part that Lindsay and Dorothy played in my early Christian walk at Sandringham Baptist. The holidays at the Quigg's Bach at Cornwallis Beach and sleep overs at the Taumata Road Manse. Our 2 families shared in lots of family outings and special occasions. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Yvonne Abrahams nee Marsden
We received a message from Alan with the sad news that Lindsay had passed away. Lindsay will always be in our memory as the good, friendly and helpful neighbour he was when we all lived in Katikati. He was a great friend of ours. Our sincere condolences to Dorothy and family with this great loss.. Ton and Margo, the Netherlands.
