To the Stockman whanau my sincerest condolences. We met 1963 as I became part of the Stockman family. Barry and Rita became very close friends, cousins. Those days we were very close knit family days. Evenings playing cards,with Ronnies parents. Treasured Uncle Les. Helping each other when we built our houses in Waitara. Painting wallpapering. Our house in Broadway, Barry teaching me correctly to paint, also after he taught me, we help paint your new home in Grey St Waitara. Rita always happy cheerful, cup of tea at the ready. Rita so many years have passed but remember you as if it was yesterday. Beautiful soul, Barry has waited a long time, forever in our hearts. Haere haere ki to moenga roa.
