So sorry to hear of Neil´s sudden passing. I first met Neil in Katikati Trails Group meetings. He struck me as a person who cared a lot about people, the environment & communities. He joined Jacqui and I on a walk up Thompsons Track to inspect the work needed to get it reopened as a walking and cycling trail. I feel privileged to have known Neil, even for a few months.

Neil, I miss you so much. We were just talking about how we'd been friends for 40 years. You were so kind and sincere. Remember when we racked up a $1000 phone bill....lol? I love and appreciate you. My sympathy to your family.
