Ps , cheers for dropping me home from the Oki

Dearest condolences to Catherine and all the Griggs whanau. I met Hemi at Riverlands around 2000 then ever since we would always run into each other on a farm dropping off stock or doing a home kill and plenty of darts thrown together.
Pleasure to have known you Hemi

Catherine & the extended Griggs family.
Hemi was a true friend of the Transport fraternity. From the thirteen-year-old Hemi until now, he loved his trucks and work, with plenty of laughs along the way. Hemi will be sorely missed by so many, and all the associates of Mack Transport. We will hold dearly all the great memories of having had Hemi in our lives.
