Dear Margaret & family

My mother told me of Maurice's notice in the Herald. I would like to have posted a card but unfortunately I don't have your address.

I recall about 28 years ago you, Maurice & either Libby or Susan coming for a BBQ at Mike's and my little bach in Whiritoa. We visited you in Whangamata too and wandered around your lovely garden. I always enjoyed Maurice and your company and appreciated the warmth and welcome of being in your presence.

I am so very sorry to hear of Maurice's passing. He was indeed a man to be admired for so many reasons, and one of life's gentlemen.

Maurice's life sounds like a job very well done & may he now rest in peace. His wonderful attributes will live on in his family, who clearly adored him.

My love and sympathy is with you Margaret at this very challenging time.
