On behalf of the Shingleton family I would like to offer my condolesences to the family. We have such lovely memories of Mr and Mrs Hoffman living next door to us at 166 Waddington Drive Naenae. As children we enjoyed being able to pick the redcurrants from their garden in exchange for our blackcurrants. Our dad would make jam that we all enjoyed. Shane was always around until college and one of our cousins Heather had a bit of a crush on him. Arthur gave our sister Adele away at her wedding due to our Dad being sick. We will always remember them both, wonderful people.

My sincere condolences to Shane and family in the loss of much loved parents and grandparents. Paddy and Arthur were great friends of my parents and although we lost touch in recent years, I remember the family well as I was growing up. Arthur was also a work colleague of my father's. A lovely kind couple with a delightful sense of humour. Kind regards.
