Dear Pam and family,
Many years have passed since I first knew Tubby .he used to take me to Westown kindergarten on the trolley bus, so a long time ago.A true friend full of laughter. Memories to hold onto. Remembering when we were in Rarotonga 15 years ago for a wedding and we heard his laugh and voice while having a coffee . What a lovely surprise.
Rest in peace dear Tubby.
Our love to you Pam and family.

Thinking of you all. Especially big hugs to Pam and Neil. Tubby you were a favourite Dad in our group of friends, your infectious smile and enthusiasm made you a magnet for us "young" ones to be around. We feel blessed to have known you.
