Kua hinga te totara i te wao nui a Tane
My sincere aroha and thoughts with the wife and family of Jerry
I had the honour and pleasure to work with this man and all though we worked side by side for a short time, the mana if this man became obvious
Kerry was indeed a great Totara and indeed he has left a wonderful legacy and blessed me and many others with his wit, stories, genuine care and his strength

He has gone home and he know doubt will not be backward in letting all and sundry hear his mighty waha be heard as he did in life

Indeed a great totara has fallen in the forest of tane , but the space he has left in the canopy of trees will be filled with growing saplings of his you his family

Jerry , mate ... you were a one off... unparalleled- thank you my friend
Rest easy
