For many years you came into our post shop in Waipara and we used to have great yarns! Always so interested in our family and I relied on you for a weather report! And discussions about farming and piggies scraps etc. So many memories. Esma and you made a great team. He was always talking about his family and was so proud of his grandchildren We will miss you terribly. Much love to the family. Ken was a great Canabrian and a proud West Coaster. Sarah, William and all the Hughes -Games Family
