My sincere sympathy to all of the Reesby family on the passing of Max. He was my teacher at Lepperton School in the early 50's

I have good memories of my cousin Max, and just wish I'd seen more of him and family over the long years, since I left Taranaki while still a child. More recently, I'll miss his email jokes! It was really good to catch up with him and Jo at Summerset in 2018, and I hope he'll keep up bowling from afar. Here's a photo taken in 1951 of Max and my own father Bill.
