To Alison, Colin, Peter and your families: My heart goes out to you all. As you know, I worked with your father for many years, and I am greatly saddened at his passing. I feel privileged to have known him and feel very pleased that we had morning tea together about a year ago.
Unfortunately, I was away from Whangarei at the time of his funeral, but wished I could have been there.

We are sorry to hear of the passing of David, my third cousin. David was always very welcoming and we enjoyed his warm hospitality over several visits from Australia. His thorough research and knowledge of Reyburn family history was but one of his many fine qualities, enriching our lives. A life well lived. Our condolences to Alison and family. David really enjoyed the fact i could be mistaken for the artist Hundertwasser when we visited in 2024. Arohanui. Bruce, Helen, Rocky and Fuchsia.
