To Jean and family,
My sincere condolences on the passing of Nepia.
He was a very special caring talented man, who shared his love of music , a modest man with numerous musical talents and his own special unique way of playing keyboard, with the special rhythms he mixed and matched.
I always enjoyed visiting Nepia and Jean when I came up to Tauranga from Wellington,
RIP Nepia I feel privileged to have known you and had you for a friend
You will never be forgotten
