In Loving Memory of
Danny Millward - "The Bear"
A Papanui Tigers and Kaiapoi Bulldogs man,
always remembered on our sacred grounds at Addington Showgrounds.
Fly high, mate, to that sacred turf in the sky -
where rugby league legends will be waiting,
ball in hand and a few beers ready.
Rest in Peace, Bear. From Hewison family
