My Condolences to Sheila and the Family. It was great to read that Eddie was able to be nursed at home. Eddie was quite the gentlemen. I knew Eddie of the New Zealand Forest Service but my late Father Lyonel (the blacksmith) knew him well. Once again my condolences to Sheila and the Family. My thoughts are with you at this time. Rest In Peace Eddie.
