Our condolences to the family, he adored you.
We remember Greg as larger than life, a very kind man, hugely practical, who was always up for a BBQ, a yarn or fishing. So many great memories & stories and a few memorable debates. Have to mention his veggie growing, some of the best produce we ate (along with his famous roasts).
Remembered fondly.

To Robert, Rebecca and families - We were shocked to read of Greg's passing.
He was a man full of fun and from a family we have a huge lot of happy memories for. Until we moved to Nelson we saw a lot of Greg and still have a replica of an AA sign in our garage that he made as a parting gift. The message "Rarangi - not far".
May you all have a host of great memories to support you.
