Sending love to you all during this sad time. Mr Hikaka served his community for many many years and was always kind and professional in all he did for us. Much love from our family to yours.

Sorry to hear of Hik´s passing. He was well known and well respected by the Waitara Community! He will be missed by many. Our condolences to his family.

Our deepest sympathies to u all at the sad loss of Hik. He was always a great friend to our Dad Barry Joyce & our family. Rest in Peace & Love Hik. Jo & Ken Parsons, Paula Joyce, Kathryn Destito, Dot Joyce.

We were very sad to know of Hik´s passing. When we arrived in Waitara 19 years ago we went to Hik for dentistry and then last year we became his neighbour. Hik was always up for a chat at the front gate. RIP Hik you were a lovely neighbour. Fliss, Jay and Whanu

My deepest sympathy to the family.
Terry always spoke warmly about Hik, always enjoying his company and professionalism. A gentle soul, who contributed so much to his community. A sad time, but so much to be grateful for and so many wonderful memories. My thoughts are with you.

Deepest sympathies to you all.
I first met your Dad when I came to Taranaki to work as a dentist in 1983.
We used to have lovely chats at dental meetings, functions and conferences, sharing thoughts on everything.
He was always a charming gentleman and a true professional.
My love and thoughts are with you at this sad time. May many wonderful memories of your Father help to ease your loss.
Warmest regards

Most heartfelt condolences. To me, he was Hikaka, my families dentist when I was a young when he had his practice in Waitara. I remember his smile, and his infectious efficiency to get the job done. Dentist visits were never scary with him. He will be missed.

so so sad to hear this Jo, and family, my thoughts are with you guys. I have fond memories of Jo's travels to the Dentist! xx Treens

My deepest sympathy to you all for the loss of HIK.Lots of memories. Margaret Lockhart.
