Very sad to hear of Clive’s passing. I have many good memories growing up with Clive and Jill as neighbours —

from the constant banter about sport, especially the Chiefs vs Crusaders rugby rivalry,

to the pétanque games and good times shared together over many dinners and bbqs.

Clive will be greatly missed.

 Thinking of you, Jill, and very sorry for your loss.

Hi Jill, I was really saddened to hear of the passing of Clive.

I have such fond memories of growing up next to you both - pétanque, dinner parties,

playing with Merlot (as a red wine lover I get the joke now!), golf frisbee - you always took such great of us.
It was so good to see you at James’ wedding (time has flown) and hope that we might cross paths again.

Hope you have settled into Blenheim, it was great to watch the service online to send off a final BYEEEEE Clive.

Thinking of you, take care.

Hi Jill, I along with my fellow friends from Cromwell College were very sad to hear of Mr P’s passing.

I have very fond memories in particular, as he was my PE teacher, basketball and korfball coach between 1986 and 1989. He had a very special knack for bringing out the best in us all. As I am now a teacher myself, I can now truly appreciate how talented he was. He will be sadly missed by us all.
