Malcolm HOLMES Obituary

I was very sad that Callum has passed away. His time should not have come so early.

Callum was both a friend and a valued colleague. His contribution to Azimuth, our company, in Wellington and in Canberra was invaluable.

I was sad when Callum left the company. We got together infrequently. It should have been more often.

Included are a couple of photos taken during Callum´s time at Azimuth. He was willing to do anything - one of his jobs was to get evidence for an insurance claim on one of the company´s cars. Another photo is at the Azimuth Boat Race function at Paraparaumu.

Valerie, my thoughts are with you and family in your loss.

Callum was the only person I ever knew that was allergic to celery ! I received this verse and thought you might like it.

Valerie. I am so sorry for your loss. I was a very good friend of Callum´s since 1982. We worked at the NZ dairy board together. He dearly loved you and his family. He loved family. Even though I lived in the USA, we kept in touch. I´m glad you had so many years together. My thoughts and prayers are with you. God bless you and your family.

Already miss your humour and candid nature Callum. Condolences to Val and the rest of the family. RIP.

I'm so very sad to hear this Valerie. Having recently lost Pauline after over 30 years together, I do have some feeling for what you are going through. It's bloody hard to lose your constant companion for all those years.

Callum was my best mate for many years. I'm so sorry I didn't even know he was so ill and hadn't offered support.

Kia kaha.
