My heartfelt condolences to Mr T's Whanau. May his beautiful soul Rest In Peace.
Mr T was my woodwork teacher at Stratford High. He was also my go to guy' when things got a bit rough for this Mori girl from the city.
Thank you for everything, Mr T! & even though it's been some 20 odd years since you last gave me a nudge, I will continue to have the most fondest memories of you.
Love always from the hoha that used to finish off her homework in your class ❤
