To The Pokiha Whanau, Our condolences to you all on the passing of Reuben, a workmate who became a very good friend during our years with Transit New Zealand. He was a great mentor to me and many others and contributed his skill and knowledge freely about road maintenance, both locally and nationally. Also a great family man, always asked about health and wellbeing of others. Remembering the laughter, happy times and talking about the old days. RIP old friend. Dave and Margaret Robertson

Reuben, my friend, I am so sorry to hear of your passing. It has been a real pleasure to be a work colleague and subsequently a good friend. Visits to Palmie won't be the same without our regular dinners! But you have achieved so much in your career over the last 60 plus years. Thank you for being part of my life. Arohanui. Fiona
