On behalf of all the staff and crew at Kuiper Australia, we extend our condolences to the Hohaia family. Russell was a valued member of our team and he will be deeply missed by all.

Dear Sharon and family,
My thoughts are with you at this time. I would like to express my sincerest condolences and heartfelt sympathy for the passing of my dear friend Russell. A gentleman. Often a man of few words, but certainly a man whose actions always spoke louder than words. from the first time we met and worked together in Bougainville back in 86,and Porgera in 88,and right up to the end - I have always thought of "Russ" as being a true friend. A friend who will always be dear to me, and one whom I will certainly greatly miss. The world is indeed a poorer place now without him in it. May he rest in peace...
I will certainly call in to pay my respects the next time I'm in Aotearoa and the "Naki".
From his old Pommie mate Dave.

So sad to hear of your passing Russell (Chook) Great fella and family man. Glad I got to see you a couple years ago at the farm. Deepest sympathy to your family.

My condolences on the passing of Russ. One of the most easy going and sincere gentlemen I have had the pleasure of working with. We will miss him.

Our dearest sympathy to you Sharon and your whanau pani,
Will catch up with you next trip home to NZ

Rest in peace Chook

Very sad to hear of Russ,s passing and my sincerest condolences to his family. Your easy nature and pride for your family will never be forgotten. Rest in peace my friend.

Hi Sharon. Yes it's me. I was looking for you to tell you my sad news then found this message. I can't believe that our mates chose the same month to leave us. Netty passed away on the 6th of Feb. I'll send you a card so we can get in touch.
Aroha,
Theo

So sad to hear of Russ's passing, a very quiet but real gentleman so easy to work with. Will be sorely missed.

I saddened to hear of the passing of a Man I have known as Russ. His quite no fuss demeanor, will be very much missed on the Deep Orient. At the dinner table after shift how he spoke of great pride of children and their achievements.
Rest in peace my friend.
