Deepest sympathy to Walters family. Walter was always willing to lend a hand and our memory is when we shifted to our Gorge Road farm having walked our cows from Dacre. We got a phone call from Walter saying our cows were going back to their original farm so he put them in one of his paddocks. Just a real good bloke. Rest in Peace

Wal, Okey Dokey….. Lots of memories of Gorge Road and Titiroa Transport days. Our trips to Haast whitebaiting, planting rows of peas at the farm and of course a few rums. Sorry we cannot be at the Gorge Road Club to farewell you. Ross and Debbie McCallum
