I was sad to learn of Tex's passing. My/our deepest sympathy to you, cuzzie Marg and your family. Tex was a character. His dream of visiting Spain was achieved and very much enjoyed. I have fond memories of the Manaia days.

Gosh, that's so sad Tex has passed. As can remember him as a fellow student at Manaia Primary School. Also remember when he was working at Kiwi Dairies in the site W/Shop as an engineer etc. (was a very good tradesman) Breifly also met him at the local dairy (Vogeltown) in New Plymouth when living there. Had such a great sense of humour, in fact at times a bit wild. However, would like to pass on my deepest condolences to his family and his many friends.
