Was a priviledge to have known Bede and Shirley, and the wider Kissick family. We have many fond memories of rugby and after-parties (& antics !), and have admired watching the farming career progress over the last 30+ years. Geoff H no doubt proud of his old school mate and first Manager of the small herd at Okaiawa. I was saved by Bede & Shirley one night outside the pub too, having buggered Murray Sandford's front tyre (a long story !). Rest in peace dear friend. Gone too soon.

R.I.P. Bede Kissick

Hi to Bede´s brothers Shaun, Michael & Morry (who I knew while a boarder at St Joseph´s College / Chanel College, Masterton)...& Pete, who I knew through my older brother Liam.

I was saddened to hear of Bede´s passing...he obviously had many more good years in him.

I recall Bede as a true gentleman...having a very calm & considered manner. He was very easy to get along with as he was kind, friendly and genuine in his interactions with others. He had a very good sense of how to have `clean fun´ and I´d say he was only on rare occasions, in trouble for breaking rules.

Boarding schools in the 1970s were places where `nick names´ were often given. When Bede & Shaun arrived in 1975, I dubbed them as `thin-sack´ & `fat-sack´...which seemed to stick. Being a teacher now, I realise that this was a form of bullying...so I apologise for any of the difficulties this created. I think that for both Bede & Shaun, the strength of their characters meant that these nick names became what they `were affectionately known as´

I would like to have attended the service today but unfortunately I had a prior commitment.

Kind regards & as the Irish say "Slainte"
