Judy what a sad day

Grant - the great Taranaki Kauri has fallen

Grant was a special friend from my days at Waitara High School playing rugby to mor recently when you would spend hours with me teaching me about my history and heriatage. I still have so much to learn and I have lost my tutor

My sympathy is with you Judy and your family.

I am so sorry that I cannot attend his funeral - as I am in Bahrain on another of my global trips.

My sincere condolences and aroha is with you all

I will visit you and pay my respects when I am back in Taranaki
