So sad to hear the news of our much loved Uncle Roy ... many holidays spent with our whanau in Blenheim made even more exciting by Uncle Roy with his creative flair ...slotcars in the garage, cruises in the Citroen, building soapbox racers, hanging in the old caravan, long chats about our wannabe car projects ... and many more memories. A most dignified, talented and loving uncle a nephew could wish for ... love you Uncle Roy ... give mum a hug from me when ya see her xx
