Many fond memories of Stu from meeting him at the ambulabce station when he was with the DCC Traffic Department, then later after he had transferred to the MOT and I was by now in the army in Dunedin. From wheelchair races around the ambulace station to cups of tea on the cold wet days when no one wanted to go outside.
Travel safely Stu. Duty completed. Keep the roads in the sky safe. To family and whanau, Kia Kaha.
