Sincere Condolences to Don's family

Sending our sincerest condolences on the passing of Don - a much-loved Dad and family member. I watched the live stream with you all and have to say what an outstanding life Don had. It is much to his credit the way he has helped so many people along the way, and will always be known and respected for this. Growing up in the Aorere Valley, the Riley family played a significant part in most events. "Memory... is the diary that we all carry about with us." Heather McQuoid and Family ( Langford) Tokanui.
