Our sympathy to Graham, Rosaleen, Justin's cousins and wider family. We are pleased to have met our third cousin in 2016 when we visited New Zealand. May Justin Rest in Peace.

Such a brilliant man, and yet, as many others have said, never allowed anyone to feel stupid. A real and rare humility.

Met Justin only 4 or 5 years ago. Loved Justin, such a gentle man, fun to talk and text with. Just so pleased we had the opportunity to meet him. We will miss him

I knew Justin from our first day in school in Ngaio where we played in "The Boys Square" and later at St Pats in Wellington. We were put up a class in the fourth form along with Michael Maher.
