Dear Steph & extended family ,
It came as a great shock to here of Brent's passing.
Brent and I have been lifelong friends since first meeting up as 3rd form boarders @ SKC in 1972. The 50 yr reunion - forthcoming at the end of June 2025 - of the 1975 SKC 1st XV will now have a gaping hole in proceedings,without our #8.
Sorry I cannot be with you all on Thursday, but I will be there in spirit.

As tryany of distance from our property in rural WA back to Central
Otago, at short notice, has precluded my attendance, in person.
My deepest condolences to you all at this sad time.
