I use to love watching all the whanau take, walk, run and train the Greyhounds 'way back in the 1970's' a family that plays together stays together 'for all your lifetimes'. When someone you loves becomes a memory, the memory becomes a Treasure

Kua hinga te totara i te wao nui a Tane, ka tangi hotuhotu nga manu. The great totara tree from the forest of Tane has fallen and the birds cry with its passing.

Words seem deeply insufficient for the feelings that you all have for your father, Grandfather, Uncle, Husband and friend. You have been ever so blessed and fortunate to have those years with Joseph and I extend my Aroha and feelings to you all at this tender time. He leaves a legacy of honour and kindness.
