Sad to hear of Malcom's passing. He was a good friend and we shared fun times in our early teens - fishing, socials, Army events and family experiences. I am fortunate to have known such a trusted and widely respected friend as Malcom always was to me.

Sending love and healing to all the whanau at this time. This is not a loss felt by a small group or even a single community! Malcolm´s footprint in the Lapidary world is significant and stands as a legacy of his absolute passion for people and for Papatuanuku and all her precious gems. Malcolm, your endless humility, generosity of time, and hard work will never be forgotten. I am richer because I met you.
You will be missed - Thank you!
