Margaret, please accept my sincere sympathy to you and your family with the passing of Des. My apology for Saturday as my health and condition does not enable me to get out for his service.
My daughter Debra ( Key) in Levin, who's first job in 1979 was in the office of Franklin Tractor with Des, the accountant in charge sends her love and compassion at this time. Other members of my family who have met Des when visiting me at Possum Bourne, also send their thoughts and prayers. God bless you and your family. Tony
