Deeply saddened by your family losing your lovely mother, Allison and our Super Ministry of Transport Chief and your father, Alex. I worked alongside Alex as Manager, at Whanganui. Alex was always helpful, kind and fair. He was supportive of my staff and during the 'ups and downs' of our lives. It was lovely having both of them at my wedding in 1985. Fond memories; Yvonne Gatland nee Gosnell. My condolences.
