Thank you for allowing the Livestream of Grants' wonderful service today. It helped when we are so far away. So many elements of the service jogged wonderful memories of your great man. The canoe trip down the Tongaporutu River was a highlight, and a shared memory that will remain strong. Jude, Jared & Blair our friendship spans decades, and we are here to lean on. Such a larger than life person, will leave a larger than life gap in our world, as he will yours. Our thoughts will be with you as you adjust to your new normal. Denise, Pete and Nadine

I've known Grant since High School days but more particularly as a member of the NP Labour Electorate. Grant has been a valuable and faithful member for several years giving instruction in Te Tiriti O Waitangi and enabling people to experience Maori customs through providing hangi meals on several occasions. I send my love to Judy and the family as they farewell this special man. Arohanui Margaret Gaze
