I lived next door to Bill and Bev in Hyde Street Wainui, they were my next-door-family. Mr Yemm ( as I called him) you were the best next-door-family a person could ever have had. I am sad you are gone but know you had a wonderful life, well lived. Bev, Robbie, Barbara, Sue and Don my love goes out to you all. I am sorry I didn't know in time to be with you all to celebrate his wonderful life
