Nige you were one in a million always outspoken, always funny, always kind. Sending love to you Tracey and to your 4 children. He adored you all and spoke so highly of you Tracey an incredible mother and partner. He will be in the arms of his beautiful Mum Lucretia who I'm sure was just as surprised as we were. Please take care of yourself over the next 5 years I hope the Timaru Community will support you and stand around you and do what they do best x

Milly was so much fun to work with. His music, his humour & always saying how proud he was of Trace & the kids. A wave from Milly at the traffic lights would brighten your whole day.
