Rest in Peace Harry. You were one in a million and life well lived, you are missed by many. Thanks for all the support you gave Phil and I when we made our move to Snells Beach. Think of you Gay and family in this time of grief. Treasure all the amazing memories.

with Harry, it was a laugh a minute, and he was a good & loyal friend. Gay and Harry provided the monthly winter dinners for the Warkworth/Wellsford car club for quite some time and they were sadly missed when they moved out of the area. Delighted to catch up with Harry & Gay during rallies around the Waikato and Harry's passing will leave a big gap in many lives. Gay, our deepest sympathy and warmest support.

Sorry to hear of Harry's passing, Gay. When we speak of our many trips on the Matata, it is always Harry and Gay, what a team you both were. Love from The Dixon's. North Cove, Kawau Island
