  • Hi my Koro, You could have only been such a beautiful man Koro, for the love I have for you, though we have not yet met, is deep and so true. Having the pleasure of living with Nan and listening to her stories, although not much, were treasured and still are. I could only imagine you in physical form by looking at my Dad and knowing you must've been so COOL. Love you Koro with all my heart.
    Naku noa

  • I remember Nan would always watch the TV on Anzac day and shed tears for you Koro. She said the War must have been so gruesome because you never spoke of it when you returned home. The memory of you serving will forever be etched in our hearts and in the hearts of all your mokopuna. Today we remember xo
