Kia ora whānau. Sad to hear of Hakis passing. Many happy memories I have growing up in Lithgow St with Tracy n Daryl and Mrs Leaf. Who could forget the Bluff Motors bus parked at the end of the street which was a great hide out for tweens and the entertainment it created with certain neighbours 😅🤣. Always a lovely man, greet me with a smile and a hug and him and Judy were great friends to my late mother Lynda. Actually Haki was like the OG hubby for hire in our street. I think him and Judy were the only married couple with kids all the rest were oldies or solo mums. Kia au to moe Haki. Finally reunited with your Judy.xx
