To Marian and Kerry & Judy's family our condolences. The other messages say it all about Kerry. I spent one year in a hostel & three years flatting with Kerry at Massey. He was the ultimate friend who was always there for a good chat. In those days he loved sport, horse racing, conversation, meeting people and family. Later he never lost those interests but his and Judy's family became his real pride.
Such a humble man who earned so much respect. Even when the illness took over his body he remained the same person underneath. We will always remember him.

An inspiring head prefect at St Augustines in Wanganui, a committed talented and humble sportsman and valuable team mate, a great flat mate in Mt Eden Road Auckland especially as he was employed at Lion Breweries with its "perks" ! A man who earned such great respect from so many people. My condolences to the family regards Brian Ahern
