Tributes

Thanks Uncle Ray for organising the Hancock / Billingham tour of the South Island 50 plus years ago. It still remains my favourite holiday and on my southern business trips I see places that you took me to like Larnach Castle, The Avon River and the Queenstown Gondolas. I will always appreciate the help you gave my Nan and Grandpa who lived in Mt Albert by delivering their prescriptions on your way home on many evenings. Put your feet up now and have a well deserved rest.
