Dear Kieran, Paul and Steven; thinking of you at this time and sorry I can't be with you on Friday. I will always remember a very kind hearted, intelligent man who helped our family during our childhood years. More recently I enjoyed chats with him, even though his health was declining. May he rest in peace with Ellenor.

Our thoughts are with the Rice family. Our parents ( Bill and Kitty ) where good friends of Martin and Eleanor back in the 1960's and forward. Martin and Eleanor where also foundation members of the Taranaki Irish Social Club which was formed in Oct 1967.
