Captain

Has peacefully slipped his final mooring. Much loved husband, father, grandfather, uncle, brother-in-law and friend to many. Lover of his family, dogs, the sea and all fine things. Many thanks to the Waimare Wing St Allisas for all their care and support, especially Katie. A celebration of his extraordinary life will be held at a later date.
