Dear Joy and family, my love and thoughts are with you all at this time of great pain and loss. Hoping in time that special memories will be replaced and bring comfort. Many decades ago two young friends from the Eltham area met two young ladies/ friends from the Kaimata area and the rest we say is history. Take care X

Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time. It was always good to catch up with you both from time to time. Gordon would always have the twinkle in his eyes and a smile then you knew there was a bit of banter to be had

To Joy & Family. I was so sad to hear of Gordon's passing so suddenly. I always enjoyed going to your place for over 20 years delivering goods from RD1 every Monday. This is a big shock to me, Gordon always had a good yarn about Fonterra and farming, he was very vocal at factory meetings always wanting to be heard.
