Paul SMITHIES Obituary

I worked with Paul in Maori Affairs. He was a super star doing great work himself and recruiting many brilliant accountants into the Department. His passing is a great loss.

Rest in Peace Paul a big loss

You are an irreplaceable guy - one of a kind - and we'll all miss you heaps. Fortunately nobody can take away all those good memories so you will always be in our thoughts and hearts. Thanks so much for everything. Grant Baker and Family
