E te rangatira, kua ngaro koe i te tirohanga kanohi, e kore koe e warewaretia. E moe, e moe, e moe rā i roto i te korowai aroha o te Atua. Haere atu rā ki te kāinga tūturu mō ngā tūpuna. Xx
well my brother, you have swapped your parachute wings for heavenly wings and now flying with the rest of the crew from 1AASO. Our time spent to gether in uniform was something I am so glad i had the honour to do. I remember when we were doing a low level nav ex, just before a air drop half our AD crew were busy with their sick bags, you and I would be laughing so hard we were crying, I dont think they saw the funny side of that, especially when we took them out the night before and got them drunk and hung over the next morning. There is a whole lot more that i can tell but will save it for anther time. Rest now soldier, NIL SINE LABORE.
Our condolenses and best wishes to the family. Its so sad to hear of Kevins passing. We are thinking of you all. He was a lovely man
Such fond memories as a young one of Kevin (and Gail) and all the fun parties Mum used to take us to haha. Kevin was always kind, welcoming, and even as a child, I sensed he had a good soul.
