My Grandad was a kind, hard working and resourceful man. Never one to push his opinions on others or to seek the limelight, he was the true definition of integrity. He was a patient teacher with a wealth of knowledge to share, always having some interesting fact on hand. GGD to my children, he loved his sports and delighted in their achievements. I will miss you more than words can say, you have been my constant for so long. Thank you for everything xoxo

Our condolences to the Brown family. Hugh and Carol were the best neighbours we could have, always willing to help,always enjoying a yarn,
a true down to earth couple of which this world is getting short of.
Will be sadly missed.

So sorry to hear of Hughs death, we knew him as a bowling friend and as a volunteer at Te Hikoi Museum. He will be sadly missed by many. His kindly nature endeared him to all. Thoughts and prayers to his loved family and apologies for not being able to attend the service.
Kind Regards
