My condolences to the family. My late husband Brian and I spent many happy times together as we joined with Kerry and Judith and our mutual friends for a beach walk or a meal. A gracious gentleman who it has been a pleasure to know, and has enriched our lives.

Kia ora Kate, Michael, Bridget and James. I'm thinking of you and your families after hearing of Kerry's passing earlier this week. Kerry and Judith and you all have been part of our family's life for many years, from our growing up in Eltham and subsequently after to moving to New Plymouth, as we all grew from teenagers and into adulthood. In recent times at Jean Sandel, I have had the pleasure of seeing my own family, Orfhlaith, Cushla and Raisin, get to know and enjoy Kerry and Judith's warm company as well. We were all saddened by Kerry's passing and I know his and Judith's absence from Jean Sandel will be felt by us and many others for years to come. It's a challenging time for you, I'm sure. Rest assured, our thoughts are with you.

Another memory, living in Eltham. I was cheeky and somehow invited myself to go to Opunake beach and have an ice cream with the Knuckey family. They were very obliging, thanks for the memories.

I am sad to hear of Kerry's passing. Both Kerry and Judith have been a great friend to me and my family. They would tell me to come and see them if I just needed to talk. Kerry will be sadly missed, especially with everything he did for other people. Am sorry, I am not able to come to the funeral, because of health issues. RIP Kerry
