This doesn't seem real, and although I'm not even in the country I feel had i needed something you would have found a way to help. You were a big part of my life when I was younger and made time when I came home. You will be missed godfather.

Remembered when he won the national pairs with Sue, telling everyone in the hall she was the best lead in N.Z. As the saying goes your pain has gone and it's the ones that are left behind have the pain. God bless.
