What a wonderful family to meet and how diligently every single member of KC'c family bought and served the best seasonal produce to us Aucklanders. I sincerely hope that their store and its delicious produce will continue as if KC was still here, serving us as ever. May KC be remembered for his humility and love. I remember his story of returning to his home village in China. Just to visit - seeing things that he left a lifetime ago. With love and respect for KC and his great heritage, and to Eileen and all his family at this sad time. Blessings to all from Elizabeth

Dear KC,I first remember you when I was a young teen growing up in the area. You were always friendly and always had a smile for me through out my life. You were a good good man. I feel very sad that you have passed. My heartfelt wishes and condolences go to the family.AR

My sincerest sympathy to Eileen, Richard, Marlene, Frances and Glennis on the loss of your husband and father. I enjoyed working part-time in the shop for two-and-a-half years in the late sixties as you were a great family to work for. Jocelyn Tatton, nee Baron.
