I was sorry to learn of Winston's passing. We have known Winston since Stan and I settled in Thornbury after our marriage in 1963.
Great memories of fun time with vintage tractors, boating trips on Lake Te Anau, social outings especially those with Bruce Lindsay and the bus.
My thoughts are with Linda, Gregory, Alastair and Sara and Jade and Tai.
Remember the good times.
