It is with our weeping hearts that we hear of your passing. Sadness also that we cannot be there with you and your whanau.

We spent many times together, that allowed us to walk alongside a gentleman with an aura of grace, wisdom and charm.

A quiet and respected man trusted to those with unquestionable honesty, duty and care. Attributes carried by a worthy Rangatira.

No reira Ivan, haere atu ra ki a ratou ma i roto i te ao wairua. Haere, haere, haere atu ra.
