The best journalist I met in New Zealand, and a good friend there, in the UK and other countries where we worked together. Joice, Helen and I send our condolences to Irena and all the family.

Great guy! Skilled journalist, articles invariably well-researched and entertaining. Recall very well running around Richmond Park in London with him when he was News correspondent, and a long run in the heart of France when we camped in the same site. Sympathy to his Family.
