Waynes strong rugged exterior was a contradiction to the kind caring man I am privileged to come to know as a friend. My heartfelt condolences go to Ann and family and Shannon and your family and the whole of the H W Richardson Group. Thoughts are with you all. Ia manuia lou malaga (safe journey) - Peter Retimanu
