Lyn, Trudy, Alice and families. So sorry to hear of my good friends passing. Please take to heart that your dad was a very good man. I knew Ross from about the age of sixteen, yes we partied hard in those early years but Ross was always a gentleman and a god dam funny bugger. A life long friend and thought of often . RIP mate.

60 years is not a long time in the grand scheme of life but you showed incredible determination and resilience at every hurdle you faced. You had an amazing sense of humour and some very amusing and maybe even slightly naughty stories from your younger days. As time went on and things changed for you, your cheeky nature never did go even in the not so good times and that smile is something I will hold onto forever. I am privileged to say you were my Dad. I love you so much and my heart hurts but I take solace knowing that you are with Mum. Look after each other xxx
Lyn, Invercargill
Dear Lyn Trudy Alice and families, our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of such sadness. God Bless and stay strong.

I remember working with Ross at Downers. Had many an interesting conversation. Also had a few rounds of golf with him before he was unable to play anymore.
Farewell mate. RIP

Take some comfort that Mum and Dad are together again, and free of pain. We too have lost 2 wonderful friends, but have gained, the friendship and love of their beautiful family. Much love always, Sandra and Malcolm XX

To Lyn, Trudy Alice & Families - Your Dad was a man with a ready smile, great laugh and sense of humour who loved his family. We have very fond memories of our times spent with both him & Donna so it is with sorrow we learn of his passing so soon after your wonderful Mum. There is comfort in knowing that his struggles are ended and they are both at peace together.
Look after yourselves and know that you were well loved by two remarkable people.
