Fond memories of going out fishing with you & Lynne, along with cooking beautiful fresh fish together, this will live on in my heart. One of the world's 'good guys' gone too soon. Will sure miss your infectious smile and hugs. Cherie x

HOLMES, Christopher Maurice Dadda we loved sharing the world with you, exploring NZ like no other family did. You were a good friend to many, enemy of crayfish, master of the sea. You kept us well fed, shared your knowledge of the land, your passion for the sea and taught us to be strong and positive. We will miss your 'bugger me's and the good old chuckle Zane and Glory, Renee and Josef, grandson Rafael
