Sorry I couldn’t be there today to farewell you.
Fond memories of our Wanganui Boys’ College days, with you behind the camera for our 1st XV fixtures.
Rest in heavenly peace, Mr Mac. Much love and respect to Mrs Mac, my old hurdles rival and schoolmate Dean, and brothers John and Peter.

Dean, I am so sorry to just learn of your father's passing. I used to run into him and Sally every so often but haven't seen him in quite a while. I also haven't seen you, so I hope you are well. Best wishes to you and your children.
