Patrick GAINES Obituary

I was a South Auckland Police dog handler, stationed at Otahuhu when Pat was the boss and I had a lot of respect for him as a senior police officer and a good man. Always approachable and a good boss.

I am Barry Murphy´s daughter in NZ and was so sorry to read Pat had passed away. Pat and Barry were best friends for many years and Barry always spoke highly of Pat.
My sincere condolences to all his family. I have attached a photo of when Barry was in the Police force

How do you say goodbye to your dad. The one and constant in your life. I don't know how to say goodbye to you dad ... but the peace I have in my heart knowing you are now rejoined with mum and other family members and forever with Jesus Christ Our Lord. Love you today, tomorrow and forever ... your daughter Christine xxx

Sympathy to you all as you celebrate Pat's life. He was such a generous man and I well remember with great thanks when he came to Samoa to help rebuikd after the cyclone there in the 90s. Our prayers are with you.

Farewell to a special uncle who influenced my life in many (probably unknown) ways. Love you always. Rest in peace.
