You have always been a part of our family. Dave and Pete got up to so much fun and mischief . My parents loved you like we do. Dave took my Dad with him when they came to NZ he saw more of NZ than we did. Well Dave you won’t be lonely up there I’m sure Dad will have a can so you can look for that Suzuki.
