Dad, I only discovered this page today, the day we finally laid you to rest with Mum.
Its been a hard few months missing you and today has hurt more than I expected. I know you are still around, but I miss you always. 41 years without Mum, but I know you are together again watching over us.

To Georges family my sincere sympathy. It is with sadness I learn of Georges passing .He was a great friend growing up in Paekakariki and going to school. I would meet George from time to time when I was in business in Paraparaumu. He always had time to stop and have a chat. A great guy. Ian Norris

I worked with George about 50 years ago at McKee Fehl. He was a lovely man and a hard worker. I enjoyed working with him. Very sorry to hear he has died. May God bless him and the family.
