"Kojak" we met at Hash House Harriers over 40 years ago, many runs and marathon training sessions and heaps of fun I can still hear you grumping at me that if I stopped talking I'd run a hell of a lot faster! π The steps up Smallbone Park were always a challenge but you never let me give up Funny that, how you enjoyed watching my struggles with a beer in your hand .... I introduced "Richard" to my wonderful friend Mary after a run we did at Waiuku...and the rest is history so they say! Be happy again you two, Together at last β€οΈ I have spent the last few days with you and your girls and Scott, even had a few beers with your good mates Dave, Brian and Johnny D at the Westbrook. Cheers π» You will be missed by many here in Rotorua and of course your family Thanks to Pat and my girls I will now be waiting in Levin on Thursday for you...On On! Moe mai ra e hoa, moe mai π’ Arohanui Steelie and whanau xx
