DAD

Sadly Dad passed away on July 23 at 8.20pm. My brother arrived 12 hours earlier and was able to spend time with him before he peacefully went to sleep.

He had a wonderful and long life, very content and happy. We sat around a campfire in Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, surround by the magnificent hills and said our farewells, a celebration of his life.


In respect for Dad I will leave the blog for a few days, but have included a favourite picture taken the day dad died, he would have enjoyed it.

Tough for you being in Canada but I am sure he would not have expected you to return to NZ - we wil farewell him on Tuesday for you..... Ian give that wonderful woman an extra few hugs!!
Love
