My well meant condolences for Joanna and kids', also for Dirk in Marton. Got to know the Hanson Family over 35 years ago when Fridtjof' parents were involved in the Steiner School, also were using the biodynamic produce from the garden in Hawera. I remember that Fridtjof was cleaning the chimney of Dirk's house on the farm on the slopes of Mount Egmont! Memories will stay on through the bronze sculptures. Fridtjof a manysided man, passed away far too early.

Sorry to hear this sad news. Such fond memories of St Nick on his horse and cart trotting up the road at Christmas. Also remember doing hay and it was about to rain so Fridtjof turns up with his car and loads its with bales..only a great neighbour would do this. Many condolences. From The Gudopp Family

To Joanna & family
Deepest sympathy for your loss
I worked with Fridtjof at TDHB and respectfully remember his compassion for people, his support of Nursing staff and his willingness to teach and share. I met him again later on in relation to his passion for horses.
His legacy is his massive contribution to enhancing others lives and his willingness to share his knowledge and skills with his community
Rest In Peace

My sincere condolences on the death of Fridtjof. We shared a love of horses and he was absolutely steadfast and passionate about the welfare of horses. I hope to see a statue of Kiwi, the legendary racehorse, in Waverley soon. It would be a fitting tribute to Fridtjof.
