Kevin was my roommate while he was doing post-graduate work at UCRiverside in California. He was a terrific friend and actually returned several times to visit after his original stay in California. Always a dear friend who really seemed to enjoy his time over here and always a jovial and valuable addition to any gathering. He will be greatly missed by my entire family. I wish to offer my condolences to his New Zealand family and friends and assure you that we will be feeling the loss of his friendship as we remember the good times that we had together.

Sad to learn of Lighty's passing, both of us have had a heap of fun with Lighty, mostly in SC Car Club times but he still called to see us in recent years. Supplying beer to the embankment at Levels or delivering a 1,000 pies to the pit shop for the crowd at Levels, Lighty always supplied very entertaining moments.
Will be missed and remembered by many.

RIP Kevie, you have had a rough couple of years. I'll miss our chats, catch-ups and also the banter we shared over the last 20+ years as your hairdresser wherever I moved to you always turned up grumbling and grouchy about me moving around! Rest easy in heaven x
