  • I remember always coming to visit you in the home with my mum and aunty sandy. I was always scared to come give you a kiss hello but I think it was more me being to young to understand everything. Mum always talked about how you lived in the back house at McIntyre Rd, Mangere Bridge and how you always spoilt my sister Patiola. You didnt get to have kids so Patiola was your heart. Mum also spoke of your medals you recieved and the stories you would tell her. Will always cherish these memories.
