As Boof was a good friend of my dad's... I had the pleasure of knowing Boof my whole life.
Boof was one of the kindest, most generous blokes anyone could meet.
Even for me as a little kid, he would always take the time check in and make you feel important.
You will be missed Boof.
Condolences to Jackie, family and friends

Rose and I were shocked to learn of Boofs passing. Please accept our deepest sympathy and sincere condolences.
You will remember us from the Canterbury Cancer Centre this time last year. We enjoyed both your company at that time.
Our thoughts are with you.

It is with deepest sympathy that we acknowledge the passing of a unique happy generous compassionate and leader of a man. Jackie our love is sent to you, family and friends in this time of unequaled sadness, but through this every time we picture him … the man with a face full of smile it too makes us smile. Without this man in our life journey our life would have been lacking something and someone so uniquely special and empowering… although he may not walk the streets or fish the seas in Te Anau he will always bring that smile and memory.. Love Neil and Jan Newburn and family.. Karratha WA
