To Barbara and family
Gavin was to much part of the Okoia valley ..
To have farmed in the valley for one hundred years leaves a lasting impression . i remember the docking the lambs on the hill country and the fattening cattle on those beautiful flat paddocks ,it was a Higgie tradition.
I remember his love of race horses, some grazing on his farm and his interest in the racing industry to eventually becoming the patron of the Wanganui jockey Club . I would like to offer my condolences to the Higgie family for a very special man .Good Bye Gavin it has been a honour to have known you. Cousin Bill
