To Nancy and family,Debbie and I would like to pass on our sincere condolences. Many fond memories for us both that we often talk about and will cherish for the rest of our lives, to name a couple,grain harvests from 1978 for me as a boy working for Otapiri transport and later on Debbie having painting lessons with Nancy at home on the farm and Des always giving an opinion. I personally will miss the great conversations Des and I had. Rest easy Des.
