Condolences to you all. Very sad to hear of Rorys passing. I first met him at the Wakefield Hotel Wellington in 1988 and carried on our friendship when we both moved to Nelson. We then worked together on several road projects together. A great guy and will be sadly missed.
If you can possibly let me know when the memorial service will be please.
