My heart goes out to you Grace, Keely and family. It was an absolute honor to look after your dad at riverside. We formed a lovely friendship. He taught me many things and kept me on my toes always. I'll miss the laughs we shared and the advice he'd give. Fly high kevin🕊

Hi Grace & Keely wot a lovely service you had for Dad. Uncle very sad but so pleased to be able to watch it live stream. Take care love us xx

Condolences to the Gadsby whanau, thank you for sharing a sad, but special day. To Keely and Grace though you don't know me I definitely know you, as your dad was so proud of you both and always spoke about yous. I will forever hold the memories of the times spent having a drink, smoke and a good yarn. Ride high Yarb

Kevy was my best friend when we were little. We lived across the road at Nana Taylor’s. Now when I say best friend I mean we spent a lot of time together. He would jump on the gocart or Joys pushchair and zoom down the Bell Block pub hill and I got to push it back up! Sometimes we would ride around the neighbourhood on our trikes and he would tell me which garden gnome to nick and bring it back to his place but he would go home and be the lookout. Pinching lollies and getting chased by old man Smith. We would push Joy around in her pushchair really fast and make her cry. Auntie Jean and Nana Taylor would yell at us and we would laugh our heads off. We would play murder in the dark and scare the younger kids. So many memories. Yeah we had fun. But the one thing he did that I will never forget, he gave me my nickname. Sandie Till we meet again Kevy
