Our Ohauiti community will miss Gordon so much. Our sympathy to you, Bub, and all your family. He made kids' birthdays fun, was a wonderful "Father Christmas", and gave many of us an aerial view of Tauranga from his glider. A warm, cheerful man we will really miss.

Howard let me know about Gordon's passing. Even though I haven't seen you for many years I do remember the Sunday teas with cream sponge at your place when we lived in Tauranga. Thinking fondly of you all at this sad time. Cheers Barb xx
