Gael, Alice, Linda, Andrew and family - an absolute shock to hear the sad news, my heart goes out to you all. Such a special neighbour, gone far too soon. Ewen, thanks for all the help over the years, the veggies, feijoas, Kingston's mandarins, wood stacking, bringing the bin up, even walking our unruly dog! Just to name a few things! Truely the best neighbour! Kingston and I will miss arriving home around the same time and saying hi and catching up. Not going to be the same again on Eliot Heights.

Dear Gael, Linda, Alice, Andrew and families. So sorry to hear of Ewens passing. Always enjoyed the Olex/Nexans fishing competition Ewen organized. Most memorable for me was Alice catching the biggest kahawai upon turning up at the end of the day. Ewen really enjoyed everyone's fishing story not just his own. A rock solid man that your family can be very proud of. My heart felt sympathy to you all. Janice Cooper

To Gael and family, my sincere condolences on the loss of Ewen.
He was my first boss when I started at Olex 20 years ago then later found out that we were distantly related.
He was a great guy to work with and would always tell you if he didn't have an answer for you. Even though we sometimes had differences of opinions he never held a grudge.
I will miss our afternoon smoko breaks where we told each other, and anyone else who was in earshot, our latest bad jokes.

Ewen,

What can I say mate, gone far too soon! You been the best neighbor anyone could have asked for and over the past 9 years it grew into a great friendship. Not sure who I'm going to text now for that beer across the way, or if there was a part that I needed I knew where I could find one.God speed mate until the next time we meet. To Gael, Linda, Alice & Andrew words can't really express how much of a good man Ewen was and how much we will also miss him but please know we are just across the way anytime.
