Stack was a friend to everyone he met. You may not see him for a while and up he would pop. In our house the girls named him the `shop sheep man´. He could turn his hand to anything. The community has lost another great Kauri Tree. Pauline you have our sincere condolences. RIP Stack. Have a rum with KJ and hassle him like the old days
All our Love Pauline The Hooper Girls

I was very sad to hear of the passing of Len he was a fabulous man always ready to give of himself but thank goodness memories never die and I have plenty of them over the years. I send Pauline my love and regards as she has been fantastic to Len and supported Len in every way. Len is now at peace and after many years of hard work he deserves to be at rest.
