Sad condolences to the Avia family for the passing of Lou. My love goes to his children, Aniva, Loama and Derek, with whom I spent some of my teen years. Your dad was kind, gentle and thoughtful to me, and later my family, when they came to Invercargill. My thoughts and prayers go with you all now. Alofa Bernadette Cleaver nee Folesi
