Hi Colleen. Regretfully I won't be able join you to farewell Brian. The trip down will be a bit much for me at this stage. I had Covid recently which knocked me about quite a bit and I still haven't fully recovered. Will be with you in spirit on the day. Love to you and all the family. Graeme and Gaybrielle and the Parkinson family.

Our condolences to Colleen and the family. I recall the great times I had working with Brian at the New Plymouth City Council. Rest in Peace my dear friend.
