The poroporoaki/ service will be held in the Rangataua Hall, 40 Nei St, Rangataua at 10am, followed with Kai. Dad will then leave for Whanganui Crematorium at 1pm where he will be cremated at 3pm. Whanau are welcome to stay at the Rangataua Hall, attend his cremation in Whanganui or both. Dad will be greatly missed by his Bonnie, children, step children, mokopuna, grand moko and everyone that he has touched throughout his life.
