Sincere sympathies to the Pinkney Family. Rex was a real gentleman and a terrific neighbour in Ashhurst in the 50s and 60s, and continued as a friend with a Christmas card every year. We watched your babies arrive and grow into wonderful people. He will be missed by all who knew him. Vicki McKeown nee Robinson (Australia) and Wayne Robinson (Lower Hutt).
